Some handy tips in there Steve, thanks! I preferred the f/16 version - still plenty of background de-focus. Might have gone for the f/11 except for the background being too bright. Found the wider stops too shallow for the subject. Very much down to personal preference though. I did like the first of the two shots you included at the end though. Very nice. "Liked" :-)
Cheers mate, yeah it really is down to personal preference. That's photography in a nutshell. I was really annoyed when I noticed the second part was slightly soft. Didn't notice at the time. Still perhaps it makes me look younger. Need all the help I can get at my age.lol.
Hi Peter,glad you liked the video. I'll do my best with the hand gestures, my wife says the same thing actually. I just get over enthusiastic once I start talking I think.
Steve, thanks for the tutorial very informative, I personally liked the one taken at F11
Thanks very much Graham, glad you found it useful. Cheers for watching,all the best, Steve.
Nice video - and quite easy to understand, even for me. Will try it out. Lots of fungi around where I live. Thanks Steve. Luci
Thank very much, glad you enjoyed it Lucia, yep it's a really good time for funghi at the moment.
A really helpful video thank you!
Really glad you enjoyed it. All the best Steve.
Oh, and I quite enjoyed that you were slightly in soft focus :) - I look better in soft focus too LOL.
How much did you pay that squirrel? He was very timely.
He was very cheap had impeccable timing though.

yet again another nice video Steve. The only thing i ask is can you please keep your hands still in the videos...

Hey Steve, its all good buddy. I guess that's whats happens when you are so passionate about what you are doing .
Cheers Peter.
As long as it’s the right hand gestures 😆
Ha you're right about that Robin.
Hi, f8 it would have been f11 if the highlights had been toned down.
F4.5 for me. Less is more....
Thanks Mark, I agree I prefer the F 4.5 myself.
