My preferred shot of the group is #3. Here's a trick I use to get great shots: use a tripod and camera timer, take three shots at different f stops using aperture priority (f2.8, f4 and f8), before taking pictures adjust your exposure to the right of your histogram. If you move the exposure to the right it will appear brighter but don't let it touch the right side of the histogram. Take one test shot and check your histogram in all channels: RGB to make sure no channel is touching the right side of the histogram, adjust exposure compensation to get the histogram to the right but not touching. Look closely at your focus point at 1:1 to see if you are off or it's great and redo the shot if it's off. Often I put a gray card in this shot to control color. This is necessary to confirm your next shots, the keepers, will be good. Now take the three shots of different f stops. Move the exposure back on your computer. By shooting to the right you'll retain better shadows and the overall picture will look better. This works best shot in RAW but jpg will work too. Use that gray card to find the correct Kelven so your colors are more accurate, use the software i-dropper to sample the card for proper Kelven. The benefit is you pick the f stop shot that retains the detail you desire or effect that appeals to you the most. Many times I cannot go back to shoot the shot over so using this technique, I get a good shot. This sounds like a lot of work but once you start doing it, the time is well spent. I do this with what ever camera I'm using.
