Magnification is achieved by a combination of focal length and focus distance. Took a few days to come up with the right equations to use DOF equivalent focal length & focus distance combinations. Basically started with the DOF equations for a series of focal lengths. Then determined an...

This comparison uses the same aperture (f/11) and same subject/view size (16.78”) with four different focal lengths. The red line represents the width of the subject/view. Positions a, b, c and d represent camera positions using the four focal lengths in the table. Black lines represent...

I've seen test forums on boards before with the purpose that newer members could play around with different options more or less with no expectation of a discussion. Play with fonts or colors, sizes, etc. to see how they work. Post pics different ways, etc. Play with smiles...

I suggest there be a companion thread to each monthly assignment thread, so folks could make public comments like: Posting photos of a incredibly cute little duckies like @wev did at 6;53pm today is just not fair.:hopelessness:

Okay, so the first click of the day isn't always something I'd like to share:hopelessness:, and then sometimes I have to do things like work or drive for a few days and get sidetracked. Decided to start a complimentary thread to post various and sundry images that fall before or after the first...

the photographer or the photograph??

In abstract mode.

Bear in mind I haven't been around here long which gives me a limited view of how things work, but also perhaps a fresh perspective. I'm one of those folks who reads the instructions when all else fails, so catching the stickies or those little notes in Bold Red Type is not one of my strong...

This is mostly about learning the Lightroom part of photography, so I figured here is as good a place as any for the thread. I have processed maybe a dozen or so images and kind of almost getting the hang of it. Thought about posting a final image here to get some feedback, but then had the...

There's a couple photos in this, but figured it fits here cause it's more to do with the ant than the photographs. I'm watching this little anthill and these little ants zipping up and over the crater edge and into the hole, and back like Flash Gordon. I figure they were moving at a rate of...

Thought this was an interesting shot in that the depth of field is clearly visible on the surface of the concrete. The bug's body is roughly 1/8" wide and barely fits in the depth of field. Cropped view

Note: This post was copied from the topic "What did you learn Today?" in Learning Photography Forum as it seemed more of a bloggy idea. This may be common knowledge, but something my film camera provided better info than the D3200. So, continuing to deepen my grasp of the way DOF works and...

Note: This post was copied from the topic "What did you learn Today?" in Learning Photography Forum as it seemed more of a bloggy idea. It's been a photographically eventful day. Started out working on a shortcut method of keeping track of DOF, but was sidetracked by focusing issues. The...

Note: This post was copied from the topic "What did you learn Today?" in Learning Photography Forum as it seemed more of a bloggy idea. Read something the other day that I'd never heard; the idea that depth of field would remain constant as focal length changes provided the subject occupies...

Note: This post was copied from the topic "What did you learn Today?" in Learning Photography Forum as it seemed more of a bloggy idea. This is what I learned today. Trying to come up with an easy way to explore the depth of field on the 55-200mm, so I set up the D3200 on a tripod aimed at...

Thought I would try some sort of a regular photo post, to encourage myself to learn something new. So, these pics won't necessarily be the best shot, but the shot that I gave a little thought before clicking. I do plan to post only the first shot of the day, though may not post every day's...

Was out in the yard earlier practice focusing and keeping the camera steady at 200mm when I spied this little furry, slow moving critter. I circled around, keeping what I thought was a safe distance. Managed to get a few decent shots, before it raised up on it's hind legs and bared it's teeth...

Eyelight Plays with Depth of Field Been too long away from creative photography and trying to refresh the old knowledge and learn about new equipment. Basic idea is to plan a shot, take the shot and learn. Plan was to make the toaster the subject and remove the bananas as subject by...
