I see no issues with focusing with the limited size of the image. Maybe post the exposures again but check "Store Original" so we can view them bigger.

Don't get me wrong, I do post process and I love the digital darkroom. I just think some have the attitude, "It doesn't matter if I get it right, I'll just correct it in Photoshop". I just think you don't learn much doing photography that way. You learn a lot about Photoshop or whatever program you use but the finer aspects of photography are lost. I'd rather enhance an exposure in Photoshop than fix it. I wouldn't consider myself a very good photographer if I always had to fix my exposures for lack of paying attention or desire to improve myself or my work. Post processing should be used for enhancing your work more than fixing it.

I use to shoot film and because of that I was forced to pay strict attention to all aspects of photography. I had to take notes or remember the shooting conditions to understand why my exposures were coming out they way they were. Back then you didn't have a Lcd screen on the back of your camera to see if the exposure came out the way you wanted it to. You had to take all your experience and knowledge and apply it to every exposure. Because of that experience with film I now apply it to digital and I am able to spend minimal time processing images on the computer and more time out in the field or doing what ever I want. If you take the time and get the white balance, contrast, saturation, exposure, and composition right you won't need to do much post processing and at the same time you'll learn about photography all by yourself and be able to share that knowledge with others. It really isn't that hard, it just takes some time.

Here's two I found. I'll go hunting today for some more.

When I was young my Dad would take me to the LA Rams game or a USC game and I was fascinated by the photographers down on the field. The risks they would take to get those shots. Then I'd get the Sports Illustrated magazine and cut out all the really good shots and put them up all over my bedroom walls. That was my dream, to be one of those guys down on the field taking shots for Sports Illustrated. That and Hugh Hefner ;-)

Very good images. I like the way you think. Very creative, nice composition. The images have feeling to them. Keep on going. It's refreshing to see the world through an imaginative mind.

Can anyone explain the spot to the left of the sun. This shot was on Manual, but doesn't seem to occur as frequently when I set camera to Auto. Settings were f1/15, f5.6,ISO 400.
Pardon me for stepping in. I too have dealt with this issue a few times. What you are seeing is called lens flare. You lens has many different elements (pieces of glass) inside and the sun is reflecting off of one of them. There is no way of eliminating it unless you change the angle of the shot and sometimes a circular polarizer will help. There is a way in post processing that will eliminate the lens flare. If you have Adobe it's called Spot Healing Brush tool and the Clone Stamp tool. I'm not sure if you have this software or something equivalent to it but that is about all you can do to eliminate the lens flare. I took the liberty of downloading your image and did a quick edit to show you how this looks after it's done. This is a QUICK edit and it is a little sloppy. It can be done alot better than this. I hope this helps you and let me know if I can help with anything else.

I Like the second shot as well. I like the sky, although it might have benefited from a Gradient ND filter or a circular polarizer as the sky is a bit blown out. But an all around nice shot.
