Jan 5's photos

I was talking to Holly yesterday about f stops and thought I'd play today with them.

Well my house is too dark and my tripod missing in the last move, so this is all I have to offer.

I'll try again next week.

This was taken with the camera set on manual. My focus in on the middle of the center column. The f-stop at f4 and the shutter speed at 125. The front (right) column is soft.

Have a look at these two websites to help you understand f-stops and focal lengths.

Both are very helpful.
