One thing I want to learn is how to really judge a photo. I got several shots of my fiancee's flowers today, and changed my aperture to change the DOF some.
I'm going to put the best ones up and I want to know how you decide to change what.
This is the best one, focus seems good, background is decently focused to set the scene (The scene that I need to fix the washout, but that's another subject.) I used my 17-85 lens, I had a polarizer on there but didn't play with it much.
Same scene, but shot at f5.0 instead of f9.0 with the first one. The leaves started to defocus some, so I think maybe a tick or two higher would be better.
This one really needed the tripod to be lower, and a little further back to get more of the plant. Plus, the top came out a little out of focus.
OK, fire away. Tell me what you would do and how you came to that conclusion.
