Nice shots :)<br /><br />Re focusing: Use something to mark where you'll be standing in the picture (a teddy bear, a tree branch, a shoe, something in the environment...) and set the focus on that, then recompose the shot (if you don't want to be in the centre of it), press the shutter button and run to your marked spot.elle s'ennuiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348285449582861799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-45843874456056128512011-02-06T20:26:23.692+01:002011-02-06T20:26:23.692+01:00Lovely shots :)

You should be able to give it a little extra stability in a pinch by hanging a heavy bag from it. Some have a hook on the bottom of the middle column to make this easier but I usually just wind the strap of a weighty bag around the tripod and let it hang down the middle when the wind fresehens up :)<br /><br />Don't you dare reduce the number of images on your blog - yours are so varied I wouldn't want to miss any of them :)<br /><br />Getting your auto focus to co-operate on a large aperture (small depth-of-field/in-focus area) when you're standing of centre too is quite hard. I've been getting better results with a remote than with the self timer but auto focus can be a real pain in the butt. I'll compile some details on depth of field/focus in a post soon. <br /><br />Have a great start to the week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-17374671708936786702011-02-06T20:23:22.949+01:002011-02-06T20:23:22.949+01:00I love London so much, it's the best city in e...I love London so much, it's the best city in england. i did a post like this a while back too :).
