day 140 - more clarity
the real success of this picture is the focus. this is shot at f1.8 very close up. there's almost no cropping up there, and at that distance the depth of field is very short. and i'm not holding the camera here, so it's even more difficult to nail the focus.
my solution was to hold up my hand, let the camera focus on that, then get my eyes the same distance from the lens that my hand was. it worked maybe 1/3rd of the time.... it's difficult to nail, but cool when it works. i mean, my cheek is going out of focus. how sweet is that?
anyways.
