As I live in the Appalachian Mountains, I have several Forest Service roads that I explore in my Jeep Cherokee which allows me to reach places not friendly to the standard autos. On this particular day, there was not much, of interest, to shoot. So I got creative.

Becoming documentarians

This response is a little off topic but I am in the middle of a personal project of digitizing a collection of family photos, some 3500 plus, that also requires some restoration. Most of the information concerning imagery has been lost, so, I tend to treat some of my digital documentary imagery with more focus on the information necessary needed to clearly explain the intent of the image.

Note- I started my little personal project six years ago and I don't even have a quarter of them digitized.

They go to my father in laws farm in Victoria AU. He’s been shooting Olympus camera for decades.

Does he use a rifle or shotgun?

I certainly hope not!

Agreed, once was enough, especially since rampant idiocy seems to have become the norm.

Lens "Sweet Spot"

Be your own judge. Use a tripod or a solid surface. Set your camera to AV and start at the maximum, or narrowest end, of the lens's aperture and work your way (up or down) if you have the capability to compare the images, side by side. This way, you know where "your" lens sweet spot is. When testing a zoom repeat the above-mentioned test at different focal lengths.

This will eliminate the "generally" portion equation.
