PESOs (3) - From Our Tree

2019-12-04 Thread Rick Womer
This year the red maple in front of our house provided an amazing display, and 
held onto all of its colorful leaves for about a week.

Until… one night there was a windstorm.

That stripped all of the leaves at once, but they continued to provide color 
for a couple more days.

Then I swept them up.

Comments always appreciated.

For posting to Instagram I just use the Opera web browser, switch on
Developer mode and choose a mobile device for it to emulate. Simple
and effective.

Chrome also has the same feature, I'm told.

Welcome Rob... it is fairly easy to use and it does what it is suppose 
to be doing.

Excellent Jeffrey, at least that might make one feed easier to manage.

Yeah, that's how I've been doing it for something like twelve years. I think 
that it's just the wide world of view and shallow focus so that the camera 
keeps finding something like writing on the background to focus on .

2019-12-04 Thread Paul Sorenson
From your reply below it seems like you have the customization for the 
AF button on the "CANCEL AF" setting which sets the camera to manual 
focus when the AF button is pressed - but only when continuing to press 
the AF button.  It will remain in manual as long as you hold down the AF 
button but once you release it the camera reverts back to AF with the 
shutter release button.  Is it possible that's what's happening for you?

I've solved this prob by selecting spot focus in the centre of the
image, taking the focussing function away from the trigger, and putting
it on the AF button.

This way, you put the object you want to focus on smack in the centre of
the image, push the AF button and then reframe to get the shot you want.
Stop down a little and you're usually good for a few shots without
having to re-focus each time.

I pretty much do the same thing, but differently. I have the AF button set to 
lock out AF, so I’ll depress the shutter until I get focus then lock it with 
the AF button.  Same thing, but in normal conditions I don’t have to think 
about explicitly focusing.  I was using the 35/1.4 rather than the 31/1.8 in 
the low light explicitly because I needed the extra 2/3 of a stop, stopping 
down a couple of stops would have been counterproductive. :-)
