I listened to this podcast on macro photography
Tripple portrait.
I like the faces on both the dogs.

Photography – Week 68
The flowers are starting to come out. It’s going to be harder to stop walking around in the mornings. This is at 821 Cafe which has had the skeleton on the window since at least Halloween but the internal skull image is new. They rotate a lot of local artists’ work through there. I liked the parallel skulls. I like the patterns of trees. I’ve shot this fence before. It has some colors that I like and it has a patina of neglect that I find interesting. The condition of the book with this particular title was too good to pass up. There was quite a bit of rain this week. I liked what this rain did to the roads.
Photography – Week 76
I loved both expressions. It’s interesting to see just how aware kids are of cameras. I don’t know if that’s always been the case. Some of the posing I’ve seen, not these kids, has certainly been a more recent development. I don’t often take pictures of flowers but I liked this one. I’ve remain fascinated by grass seeds like this. The lettering of the sign is really interesting as is what it says. You can see the tiny trail of a bug in the dew and then the wing imprint and claw marks of a bird as it swooped down and plucked it off.

Interesting, I should just listen, but is there a detail increase for larger relative depth of filed? Or just collecting for direct light reflections?
You probably know but the trick here for going to higher stops is using the third leg of exposure control- pushing to higher ISO means you can go to larger fstops
Deeper depth of field was the goal. He has some interesting ideas on what leads to good pictures (which he equates to pictures people will buy in his process). It was interesting to hear him talk as he’s really direct and about selling stuff.
I am playing with the ISO but found some of the auto ISO adjustments to make things too grainy. It was a bit of surprise for me because I didn’t realize quite what I’d need on that end to keep shooting sans tripod in my normal haunts.
I would not do auto ISO, set it directly. Use low (100) in day light, go higher when you need to (a) shoot in lowlight or (b) want to make use of the higher number aperture settings.
How grainy gets will depend on your camera’s sensor.With my T1i I could go to maybe 800 before it got noticeable, but with the 7D I can easily go to 2000 before it affects the image. IN some settings, especially low light, a grainy look works, esp when you go to black and white, That;s another reason for my affinity to the 50mm f/1.4 I can shoot hand held in low light much lower than using a zoom.
