Explored! Thank you very much :-)

SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE
23 FEBRUARY 2019
WORK ON GETTING THE SHARPEST POSSIBLE FOCUS ON OUR SUBJECT

A good challenge because it made me stop and think about where the point of focus should be......rather than just snapping away!!!

I know it is sometimes said that with a landscape scene you should focus on a point approx one third of the way into the scene. But, here I was not entirely sure about the point of focus so I decided upon the nearest tree :-)

This is Dunstable Downs, the highest point of the county of Bedfordshire. It is not too far from where we live and I love being here :-) Therefore, for 'Sight and Sound' I have chosen "Love So High" by Cher :-)

You did a super job!! I love the sharp focus on the tree. I love the silhouette. I love the view! And I enjoyed reading what you had to say. Fun stuff! Super music choice too. :)

Happy SSC!

This is beautiful and I have so little experience with landscapes that I'm never sure where to focus but this looks great to me and I'm glad the challenges make you think. I seem to learn something new each week.

This is a new song to me and it's very pretty. :)

Using DOF enhances the point of focus. I don't agree that landscapes must be sharp from close to infinite. I am glad the challenge made you try something different that now is up to you to keep performing and improving!
By the way, I love your tree take!

The tree makes a great frame for the landscape! The background, at least until the next tree, is astonishingly sharp for f/6.3.

I tend to forget all about the technical stuff and kick myself when I get home and upload to the PC. Think you did OK here Roger, all looks good to me as far as the tree line.

Wow, Roger, this is beautiful! I love how you composed this image; the tree gives so much interest to the landscape, and also adds depth as well.

Quite a rolling view. Can imagine you love being so high like Cher sings. The placement of the trees provide the necessary depth here.
