I did this assignment with a Nikon D3000 and a vivitar 100mm macro lens. These are shot at 1:1
I used a tripod and natural light.
The subject is a Peace lily

Okay, I'm still here and I've been watching. I took some picture yesterday, which I'm to embaressed to post. So I'll try to stay more involved with others and hopefully post my own soon.
Great job MWAC with this thread. It's what we really needed here at the hog. A thread with a good photographer who actually knows how to take pictures!
Your giving us a group discussion on what we can learn about our camera's is fantastic, not to mention what great topic are yet to come.
Good work. :thumbup:

I learned that you have to look closely sometimes to see the subtle differences. But they are there. This is a good way to shoot and LEARN at the same time. I applaud you. Thanks for taking the time to manage this challenge.

I focused in the middle and was surprised at the depth on all but the f3.5.

I've taken 6 pics. Th first 3 are ISO 200 the next 3 are ISO 400. My highest A was F8, lowest 3.6

The point of MWAC's exercise here is to show how aperture affects depth of field, and what will or won't be sharp in a photo. If the subject is close by and background objects are fairly distant, a wide open aperture will soften the background. The narrower the aperture, the more of the total image will be in sharper focus. If everything - subject and background - is off in the distance, or if the background is right behind the subject, then changing aperture won't make an appreciable difference. This is an oversimplification, but look back over the postings and you can see what I mean. By controlling aperture, you can influence the kind of image you want, one where everything is pretty much in sharp focus, or one with a sense of depth caused by a subject in sharp focus and objects close to the camera or off in the distance are soft and fuzzy.

That's a good example of the large DOF you get with a wide angle lens.

And on some examples we see the difference in light that enters the camera.

This is in response to the person commenting on this challenge not being open to users other than Canon or Nikon just b/c they were not specifically included by name in the instruction post:
LOL! You certainly can't please everyone!! Come on people, a simple "thank you" will do! Personally, I'm grateful for the challenge, even though I'm very familiar with these settings. It never hurts to keep challenging yourself and trying to improve!
Thanks for doing this!!

If you can SEE the difference in your background of the posted pictures, you got the idea!
