Working with f-stops.


Working with f-stops., originally uploaded by rizp.

Just a quick shot that I thought did a decent job of showing how f-stops can effect the composition.

This was taken at ISO50 1" f2.6 on aperture priority

the point I'm focusing on is intended to be the 5-way nav button on the phone. With a wide aperture (small f#) the focus is more tightly centered on point of interest, and the other keys are increasingly out of focus as the move away from the 5-way. This adds "drama" (like I don't have enough in my life).

Compare to this other image with a narrow aperture. (ISO 50, 1/4 f8.0)

A fancy-pants new camera like that almost demands that you take lots of pictures to justify its purchase. Since you're taking all those pictures, you might as well upload a few of them onto this site of yours now and then. Since that's basically the only way we learn what's going on in your life.

love,
