If you have any filter options on your camera, try to use the yellow and see how it changes your contrast values ......in film work, back last Century I used to use one all the time when the light levels would comply with the shots I was trying to get............

Nice.... I like B/W shots...

Very nice depth of field also!

Perhaps you could try to make the tip of the pen more in focus, as is seems the focus is a bit further to the back at the moment.

Pretty much took the words right out of my mouth. Nice composition.

And here I thought it should have been shot at F 16 or less and a desktop brace of some sort (tri-pod) ........too little depth of field of focus for my liking.........to each his own......... Cool

Two ends of the spectrum of focus could look like this if you have the minimum aperture to work with....both shots were done on a tri-pod. Focus point was top of the "5" on the keypad.

F4.9 @ 1/2.5 sec and f22 @ 8 sec .....

I really should get one of those. Of course, I'm not sure I would bring it with me to work Wink

. Basically the shots I took at work were aimed at exposures (I now know why I can't move the exposure bar in manual mode Grin

). I'll be playing around more and posting them here soon.

Well, I think Ruptured Duck did a great job on presenting a mundain object in a slightly more arty way. If the whole pen would have been in focus, it would have been a very average photo imho. Wink
