It's addictive and a difficult style to break after getting, early on, great results. I often forget (even tho I have written on this topic) to move my aperture setting once I've had my bokeh fill. This, especially, as I do not do much nature photography as a Leica M shooter with all those great fast primes. <br /><br />We just have to keep reminding ourselves: f8 and be there!Wilbur Normanhttp://wilburnorman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-24132478690174089932020-06-25T16:44:17.736-07:002020-06-25T16:44:17.736-07:00You're right.You're right.Blue Heronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13516946085702606491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-19963953765957155582020-06-25T16:25:41.183-07:002020-06-25T16:25:41.183-07:00The lens is not hard wired to f:2.8.

I like Auto ISO.... with the settings I describe, ISO should be pretty low so noise should not be an issue. Just one person’s opinion!Sanoguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911933705954807512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786764158320829279.post-84247462308688291472020-06-24T15:41:28.318-07:002020-06-24T15:41:28.318-07:00It is taken as the REVEALED WORG OF GOD among wild...It is taken as the REVEALED WORG OF GOD among wildlife shooters that all must be sharp. No way to get past that. It is BS though. What is good in a biology text isn’t always good. Focus isn’t king in interpretive photography. I have spoken.
