Pic #1.. depth of field too shallow.

...Look.@ #28 just to the right.. THAT.. IS WHERE IT APPEARS, YOU HAVE FOCUSED. (WRONG PLACE, in my opinion)

#2. much better.. depth of field..!

#3. I don't know what I am looking at. ? ( I am an electrican w/40 yrs)!

Pic #1.. see the # 28 ? just to the right.. see how incredibly sharp it is.. now look at the #48

you want maximum depth of field.. to make an image.. POP!

sometimes razor sharness is awesome. and sometimes it is KNOT!

i ALWAYS.. .. shoot for maximum depth of field... I have worked as a journeyman wireman for over 40 yrs.. retired.. I have worked professional photography same amount of time!

I haven't touched a camera since 1990!.. I have other passions now!

I make outragous money from my photographs..I had to melt snow for six months!! just to get the water to develop the color film I live with Eskimo's!! majikimaje.com MSIE only!!

no longer a Noobee? moving up..! good for you!! .. practice practice practice.. !!!

http://majikimaje.com/drkrm15.jpg yes I have had 15 drk rooms.. !! this was 79 my eskimo photos started in 82 out on the ocean ice!

In pic #1 I had to use a wide aperture so that I could hand-hold the camera in the low-light levels in that lab. Therefore, the DOF is shallow.

Pic #3 is a Tesla Coil. It is basically a magnetically coupled resonant circuit capable of producing extremely high voltages. This coil is a 0.5 megavolt (500,000 V) coil. We have a 1 megavolt (yeah thats right... 1 million volts) coil, but it can't be used indoors for safety reasons. Here is the wikipedia entry explaining it in detail.

Yeah. I used a tripod in photo 3. Photos 1 and 2 were hand-held due to space constraints. (they are on a wall behind a rather large bench, and I couldn't get the angle i wanted without hand-holding the camera)

EDIT:
Here is a better picture I took of the effects of the tesla coil:

you wanna learn from a pro ?? I can spend the time to teech yew !!

so you can easilly make $$ and git through college! in a more comfortable manner!

two years ago.. a Photographer from Paramount studios came into our gallery.. Majik Imaje in anchorage!! he walked in.looked around and exclaimed.. WHERE?? DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL? TO LEARN ???

BY YOURSELF. nope.. someone taught you how to do this."

Thats why I say as little as $25. A lot of the people in my area aren't going to spend $80-$100 on a photo. They just don't have that much money. I could just do a photo shoot with friends cars from work and see what they are willing to pay. I updated my site anyways Thanks, I take that as a serious compliment.

I seem to have lost the EXIF data on that lift bridge shot. If I remember correctly, I used a small aperture (> f/11) and about 50 seconds.

And my printer sucks lol. I have my photos printed at wal-mart, unless theyre really nice, then I have them printed at a lab.

I'll take the little league idea and run with it We have a little league team in ashtabula, I'll have to see if they have a photographer.
