depth of field/focus

f/stops & shutter(s) make this

 

what is f/stops, god im such a noob

 

awesome man...lock is my fave too

 

Apertures

You should read up on your equipment, there's too much to learn and I don't take the time to do this myself. But through experience and help with other people (preferably in person) it's easy to pick things up and put this new knowledge to test.

 

i think he means in a non-noobish way, changing up the settings and shooting manual.

 

like on the one with the chain you mean make the rest clearer? i know how to do that with Apertures and things like that i just dont know the word for it... i didnt take my time or use a tripod on any of these and it was freezing out there so i was kinda rushing it lol.

 

Yes.

Depth of Field. Larger aperture (smaller f-number) means narrower DOF. Smaller aperture (larger f-number) means wider DOF. Wider and narrower referring to the distance from front to back, if that makes sense.

You don't necessarily need a tripod to change your depth of field. Kick your camera into aperture priority mode and try it out.

 

yea i know for that but on the lock pics i wanted to use one. so your saying that the chain pic would have looked better with a winder depth of feild?

 

I think that you should learn through your own trials because other's opinion's aren't always the best direction. Not that I'm pointing anyone out.

Learn as much as you can from anywhere.

Shutter Speed and Aperture

 

I'm saying I think I would've liked it better with more DOF. Too much is otu of focus. That's my opnion.

If you like it how it is, just say "Fuck you, Chris, I like it how it is." I might be a little offended, but you're within your right to do that.
