Hi Dave,
thanks a lot for the super fast reply. That are lots of good tips. A tripot for this shot was kind of a bit problematic, cause I went up Mt Owen, which was quite a hike so I didnt want to carry ma tripot
. But next time I will probably take it with me, its worth for a good shot. I am using manual focus, because IŽve been watching some photografie lessons on youtube, and the guy in the video said its better to use manual focus. But if the auto focus is good, IŽll just give it a try. Thats easier for the start
A great depth of field for landscape shots is understandable for me, because it just looks better if you can make out lots of deteils. But I choose a small depth of field for the flower and mushroom on purpose, because its a close up shot. WouldnŽt it be disturbing if the viewer can make out lots of deteils in the background?
Cheers,
Matti.
