aww thank you. lovely photo - good angle, tightly cropped and nice d.o.f of the subject.

an example of the saying, size does not matter, it's how you use it :)

whats a d.o.f. ?

me newbie, but actually size matters. but maybe that applies for other things. mwahahha.

d.o.f - depth of field - how "sharp" an area on the subject matter.

example, the d.o.f area in this photo was on the days and collection times on the post box.

in theory, the higher the d.o.f, the lower the aperture value. aperture is the size of a "hole" that let lights go through in a lens.

the smaller the value the bigger the hole. LOL. f2.8 has a bigger hole than a value of f4.0

to get a "sharp" photo - the value is around f8.0-f11, provided if you have approriate lighting.

hope this is not too confusing. one day i teach you how to convert b&w; from colour.
