dayTrip

George.

Hi -
This was my first proper trip out with my camera. I went to an antique store to check out some stuff for work. I know theres alot of photos but thought id punch em all up online. I was trying to teach myseld DOF with teh aperture settings on the camera and using differnt angles, etc. Very minimal P/S done, basic levels and cropping on one or two images.
Results? below what do u think??

System

no expert I, but I enjoyed the colors, composition, variety-

only complaint was the lack of dof on the can shot, did not see the point on that for shallow dof unless you were working on that-

remember, if you want some indepth c&c, stick your best up on the whipping post-

thanks for sharing-

General comment - for deeper DOF, decrease the aperature (make the aperature number larger). To compensate for the reduced amont of light to the sensor, either increase the ISO or decrease the shutter speed (or both).

The colors of the urns (or whatever they are) are very nice. It appears the focus was on the most distant of the group. The foreground items were not quite in focus. Also, moving to the left a little might have reduced the glare on the sides of the urns - maybe?

You got the DOF thing working nicely (IMO) on the gold and red box pic. Crop out the shelf edge on the right of the picture and you will greatly improve the image. Same thing for the chair and stuff on the left. Should leave you with a very nice portrait format image.
