Clunk, I have a some nifty DoF calculators from Thom (www.bythom.com) which work it all out for you.

If you want, let me know what focal distance is and I'll give you the start-of-focus and end-of-focus distances at a given aperture Very handy

I left the Exif data in the wasp pic.

Looking at the dofmaster chart, I entered the values and it gave me this for f/2.8.

Subject distance 6 in

Depth of field
Near limit 5.99 in
Far limit 6.01 in
Total 0.02 in

In front of subject 0.01 in (50&#37
Behind subject 0.01 in (50%)

Hyperfocal distance 2639.7 in
Circle of confusion 0.019 mm

And this for f/4.

I like the circle of confusion, that kind of sums it up

This is probably one of the closest shots I've ever got.
I can't remember the settings but it was with a 50mm and some extension tubes.

Red Arrows - Farnborough 2008

[Bobster]

looking like a nice dynamic shot there m8, it doesn't matter that the colours aren't visible, its clear to see that they're the arrows

one from yesterday

Bobster .... funny what you see wondering around Dorset these days, huh. Bloody global warming.

Some great pics recently...

Dammit, stirrer

Seriously though, I could have used the fill light to improve the colours on the planes, but with the sun being above them, anything I tried seemed to wash out the other colours. I think I achieved a sense of motion in the shot, which is what I was pleased with. Only my second airshow, so plenty more practice to come

[cubiter]

That's one of the best I've seen of the Arrows, well done.

[Ruggerbugger]

Thanks and another

Those arrows shots are magnificent - without the sun glinting off the cockpits they could be oil paintings rather than photos!

Time to bring the standards back down with more compact P&S shots - lavender's already finishing now and the honey bees have only just found our garden.

Wow - some very nice pictures here

Love the animal ones, but best of all the lavendar and air show pics.
