Getting used to the zoom lens;
Picture taken with wide zoom (33mm equiv)
Zoom at 'actual' size, approx 50mm (equiv).
At full tele zoom. 396mm (equiv)
At this zoom it was hard keeping the camera still.
I will use the monopod or tripod next time.
Keeping the focus point fixed, but changing the aperature;
200 @ F2.8
200 @ F6.4
200 @ F8
This didn't quite get the effect I was looking for. I would have expected the focus to be different on each photo. I will try this again using a different subject matter.
Different Focus points using the same aperature;
Focus on the bush in the foreground.
200 @ F2.3
All but the foreground is blurred.
Focus on the mid-distance rocks.
200 @ F5
Foreground is blurred and hill is slightly out of focus.
Focus on the distant hill.
200 @ F11
Foreground is blurred.
Using the Panorama option to automatically stitch three pictures together;
I was very impressed with the result of this. You get the depth and curves of the landscape.
I love the long picture! You're making me homesick. I hope you aren't too sore but we have to suffer (or, in my case, shiver) for our art. Love Reb x
ReplyDeleteAlthough there's a section in the long picture that has been repeated!
ReplyDeleteYes I saw that. It was my mistake. I didn't realise that the view finder actually shows the ghosting of the edge of the picture just taken, so you can match it up easier. The later ones I have taken (Ilfracombe Quay) are stitched together well by the camera's internal (auto) system.
