dear dennis,
depth of field isn't something you can "avoid" or even want to for that matter. it is EVER present & unavoidable. all you can do is control the degree of it, mostly by aperture. depending on what you are shooting , both a shallow & a broad depth of field have equal importance.

Your backgrounds are 'well blurred' and gives a lovely contrast to the photos. I really like 'ALL' THE Shots!

Hi Dennis, I really enjoyed your posts and would ask please what settings you used.
I agree with others about your good composition and I'm also a biiiiig fan of shallow DOF.
On my monitor everything lacked sharp focus also. I've read elsewhere on the Forum that photos aren't coming through as well as the originals. Got to love technology, right?
Overall, I think your shots are splendid and I enjoy your posts. :thumbup:

I like what you see before you shot, for me the bees were a little out of focus the focus point seemed to be bottem right of the first bee, the butterfly shot was good but again the focus point was on the top of the wings, maybe this was what you wanted but for me it would have been the face, and the flowers the focus point was on the leaves, i would have picked a flower for subject and the bee on the left in that same shot was cool would have been great if he was in the focus field.
Im no photographer buy the way i just enjoy the hobby.

The purple and orange flowers the focused subject in that shot is the leaves and not the flowers as for the rest of ur shots no news is good news again i like what you see.

I am seeing a blue bees, too. And like everyone else things look just a little out of focus to me. But the composition is generally great.

that is correct, I then have a shallow depth of field which for the most part is what I want.

This is just my opinion - I am NOT an expert - not by any yardstick of measure!! Photo 2 is perfect. Perhaps, Photo 1 and 23could have done wih a 'bigger f number'! May give less blurring and greateer DOF!
Only a thought!

I like your subject matter and most of the compositions, but agree there is a definite need to sharpen up the focus which is so critical with closeups. There does seem to be a white balance problem with a blueish cast on a few of the photos but not all so I don't think it's a monitor problem. If you shot these in RAW format that should be an easy fix. Check your white balance camera settings to make sure that they match your lighting conditions when you actually snap the photo. Partly cloudy days can require changing the settings often.
