Day 74 - joy of LOVE~Day 12, Eyes



Today's assignment was to capture a crisp shot of their eyes.  Well, I got one eye.  I don't like the straight on shots, but when I angle his face I cannot seem to adjust my settings enough to get a bigger DOF.  I like this shot anyway!  Off topic a bit, that is the hat I knit for him out of hand-dyed Malabrigo merino wool.  I love the mottled look of hand-dyed yarn.

  3. I have the same trouble you do; it's not easy! You did a great job though, the clarity of his eyes (eye?) is great. :)

  5. Re DOF. 1/3 or so of your "field of focus" falls in FRONT of your actual focus point. So, maybe focus a bit "past" your actual focus point. In this case, somewhere between the foreground eye and the bridge of the nose. This allows the plane behind your focus point to fall in more acceptable focus. Also, remember that DOF contracts with longer focal lengths, and lengthens with shorter focal lengths.

  7. His eyes are beautiful. They are such a unique color. I bet they change depending on what he wears.

  10. This is a beautiful photo of him. I like that you have him turned on an angle also. And I'm so impressed by that hat. Knitting is something I can do, but just well enough to make a straight scarf. Like my sewing. I know only the very basics.

    CANNOT wait to see your ballet sweater and leg warmers. Can not wait!

  11. Beautiful eyes!

    You do such great work knitting! I told my MIL about some yarn you referenced, as she loves to knit projects for my boys. I think that soft yarn looks heavenly to wear:)

  12. I have that same issue when shooting from an angle. Did you ever figure out what to do differently besides closing up my aperture more?
