Focal Length

In order to take this photo I used the macro setting on the camera. The flower was a good focal point for focal length experimentation as the detail could be captured clearly in addition to the bright natural lighting.  I tried to zoom in as far as the camera possibly could to create as much definition to the flower and capture all the shades of purple.

AF/MF and Focus Points

In the first photo I used auto focus to take the photo of the plant, it  focused on the pepper, why was what i intended to do. Whereas in the second photo I used manual focus which focused on the background resulting in an unsuccessful photo. Personally in this particular shoot auto focus worked better for me, as i couldn’t get the camera to focus in on the pepper with manual focus, but this can be improved with practice.

Depth Of Field

In this photo the tree is the sharpest point, the more you move away from the tree the more out of focus everything else becomes. I ensured that the camera had a small aperture in order to create a deep depth of field.
