What settings are you using?

What settings are you using?

Right now ,just auto focus on AV setting. Just messing around still need some photo lessons thou

Yea try dropping your iso down to 100 in the av setting. Dont know if you used a tripod but you will need too for this low iso, and turn off the pumps. ny movement will cause it to be blurry, but if you dont get any movement you'll get some nice dof.

Deepwater,
Great looking pics with the new lens!! I noticed that you have a very narrow depth-of-field (DOF). This means that only a little bit is in focus and the closer and farther objects are not. This is contolled by the aperture.... the smaller the number the narrow the DOF.

A suggestion: If you are using a tripod, set your camera to the "A" setting or aperture priority setting, then change the aperture to f/16 or f/22. This will cause the shutter to be a lot slower, so you will want to use the timer function or a remote release to trip the shutter without shaking the camera.

WOW you guy are good teachers with great info.

I will red up on NG thread about aperture and the info given here

Thank guys ,much appreciated

coralnutz,
Great link to read! and you are correct in the use of the DOF to isolate a single subject to draw the attention to it.

Here is another great site for beginners that tep you through photography:
