[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 42015, member: 8344"] Ah, let me explain..... a) I wanted to rule out completely any camera shake, rattle and roll..... b) I was using a 300mm lens c) DoF wasn't an issue because of the small object I was focusing on d) I didn't want anything other than the object I was shooting to be in focus. e) a slow shutter and high ISO wouldn't work because the chime is on a string and it moves in the wind! So, I had to eliminate that as well. My thinking was that because of the tripod and the fast shutter speed, I could focus in on the Wind Chime and I could more readily tell whether or not I got a crisp result. I don't know if this was the right approach, but that was my thinking. A couple of things I have to contend with: a) I pulled my back so I am not mobile at the moment. This was as far as I could go, the back yard. b) The sun has not been co-operating :eek: Rain or snow the rest of the week! c) There isn't much to shoot in the backyard!!! :D So, my choice of objects was limited to this Wind Chime. I will repost the picture at 100% cropped. Thanks again, [/QUOTE]
