Keen to start of the next exercise, I set out with the plan to use a graffiti wall I'd seen in town and my 50mm lens that can go down to f1.8. I my mind it would work quite well.
I was wrong.
This was mainly due to lens choice which will focus from 45cm to 3m and then infinity in barely 1 degree further round. If I'd thought about this a bit more in advance, I'd have realised that this clearly would work for a wall that's at least 30m long! I could get a decent shot with a near focus point, but beyond that just wasn't working.
I love the fact that you realised you had gone wrong like this. I do this all the time on my degree journey. You are so right, we learn much more by our mistakes than by things that come easily.
ReplyDeleteI too did a stint on a local graffiti area with similar mistakes so know exactly where you were coming from. It all seems so straight forward in my head!
