Yeah, I think that was quite widely known, but the industry reception to the idea wasn't great as far as I remember. It would certainly be interesting but I haven't heard anything about it for a long time.

Ok i think i understand now, how to expose the pics properly in manual mode, and the six available exposures available, using F/stops, in each pic depending on the style of photo you want. Even though i do this very slowly at the minute, it is becoming a more natural step.
Trying to get my head around focus and depth of field at the moment so i trotted off to the park with Marley, and a bloody big camera round my neck. :ashamed:
The basic lens that came with my kit is very limiting, when trying to get a large depth range of focus, though with somebody who knows what they are doing i am sure they could do a lot better than me.
I wanted to get one pic with just marly in focus, and one pic with a full depth of field focus.
I couldn't really get either of my choices nailed, as Marley woke up after only a few attempts. :sad1:
I have since read that i need to use a really small aperture for full depth of field, somewhere around F16,F22 Thanks to Hedge for recommending a great book. :noteworthy: I will be trying again to see if i can improve this.
Here is a pic a Marley as he woke up, it came out really sharp. :smiley:

It's normally impossible to get decent drop focus with kits lenses.
The easiest way to think of it is with a smaller f-number more of the image in front of and behind what you are focusing on will be sharp and in focus. That depth of focus gets smaller and smaller the higher the f-number.
Oh, and a high f-number is something like F2.8, and a low f-number is something like F22. When you're experimenting with aperture I'd leave the camera in aperture priority mode so you're allowing it to determine the shutter speed. One less thing to worry about and you're less likely to end up with washed out images.

For example, and a great excuse to post a photo of my little boy, this shot was taken with an aperture of f2.8.
