Get a DOF app for your phone and you can play with different aperture, focal length and distance to the subject settings to see how they change relative to each other. Shorter focal lengths will give greater DOF at shorter distances than longer focal lengths at longer distances. For example a 50mm focal length at f/5.6 on a FF body at a distance of 7 feet to the subject focus point will have a DOF of about 2 feet. A 100mm focal length at the same aperture and distance will have only about 6 inches of DOF. To achieve 2 feet of DOF total you would need to be about 42 feet away if shooting at f/5.6 with a 300mm lens. These numbers are not naturally in your mind so a DOF app is very useful tool to play with and get a feel for how the settings relate.

I just went to the App store. There are several DOF apps. Any recommendation about which one to get?

It wouldn't be a Texas summer without them! Not pleasant to get hit in the head by a flying one though.

Nice series. I also prefer the one with the muted background as it emphasizes the intricate lines of the mushrooms. It's especially inspiring to me that you used a kit lens and got these results. I have the D5600 that came with that same lens and it usually stays on my camera.

I recently started Ben Willmore's course (through Creativelive.com) and like it. It also comes with a downloadable workbook. I got it on sale (70% off). I think it probably goes on sale periodically. I also like Lightroom Queen (Victoria Bampton).

Those are beautiful. Just curious, are you using this with a dslr? If so,did you have to adapt it somehow to your camera?

Destined to make lots of offers that can't be refused. Beautiful portrait.

My grandmother had one of those "thingies" with the green handle on the right for folding egg whites into her angel food cake batter. As a side note, it really makes one feel old when you go into an antique store and they are selling (as pricey antiques) pyrex bowls and Corningware identical to those that I am still using!!

Appreciate your looking, Dirty Harry and A10. I am trying to look at my surroundings differently and with more than a cursory glance.

Got bored while sitting in the car yesterday waiting for my husband, so I pulled out my camera and started shooting. It was kind of fun!

IMHO #1. There seems to be noise in #2. Also, in #2, the bird appears to look as if it is "pasted" to the sky. I think this is the result of over- sharpening, as Linda mentioned. Appreciate Linda's advise about the brightly lit room.
