Real life lens micro adjusting

After spending to much time indoors trying to adjust my Canon 70-300 IS and 7D I went out doors into the cold and and found the perfect target... my brick entry. Stood on the top step shot at about a 30 degree down angle, targeting in between two bricks and found that at 0 adjustment I am doing alright.

It's not the cold here in Denver but the gray that gets old.

Looks great, and better than a focus chart. Don't you love how DPP allows you to see the focus boxes so you can see in the picture where the camera focused? I am new to Canon so I have never seen this before but I really like it.

Looks pretty good.. I sometimes use the pavers on my driveway but prefer to test using real life situations..

I normally use this as my target,, it's more real life than shooting brick walls or lens test charts..

I shot this image after AF Micro adjusting my Sigma EX 50-150mm f/2.8 APO on my 50D..

150mm at f/2.8,,,pretty damn good..

I like seeing the focus boxes, but how do you get DPP to save them on the image?

Looks good. BTW, if you bring the pic into photoshop and apply a high pass filter on it, it makes seeing the focal plane much easier.

canonloader...I load the image in DPP choose show photo box and then use the snipit tool that comes with W7 to capture that image as a jpeg.

gjI711...thanks I will give that a try

I thought it needed screen capture to get it. I looked for twenty minutes one time and could not find a way to export the boxes.
