Great image, Colin - just goes to show you can get DOF with one of those full-frame camera thingees. Choose the right lens and distance, and voila! And you didn't need pinhole aperture, either. Very nice.

Hi Rob,
Yes and maybe :)
Yes regarding the numbers, but "better" DoF really depends on what you're after; sometimes a tighter DoF is a blessing, often it's a curse. But yes - basically the bigger the sensor, the smaller the DoF for a given aperture. For a FF & 1.6x CF camera the difference is about 1 stop - so between a 1.3x camera and either of the other two, it's only about 1/2 stop - so not a lot.
I think I'm confused again. According to Canon's site, the 1DsMk3 has a 24x36mm sensor. The EXIF of the image says Colin is shooting a 1DsMk3.
Cheers,
Rick
This storm has been approaching for a couple of hours. At one time I counted 30 seconds of continuous thunder.

Is that a lighting or a sun? If it's a lighting, then you did a really damn good job on this one. I tried that couple days ago and didn't catch 'em!

Two quite different looking shots of the same quite tiny spider deep in its web; one shot up and under the web, the second one down through the top. Both with on-camera flash at +1 EC.
My apologies for failing to produce 'something different' for the final day as promised, family stuff cropped up that meant I just never got out as intended and was forced back to the garden again. But hey, it was a visit from my daughter and a few drinks in the pub after treating ourselves to a take-away chinese meal, so no hardship involved :)
Thanks, that's my lot for July! Phew!

Ending my PAD with a portrait of my life's inspiration.

I missed that thread. Thanks for pointing out.

I keep forgetting to change the title on my posts. :(
That is the sun peeking through the hole in the center of the storm. I did get one with lightning, but it was an accident and the picture wasn't good enough to post.
The blotchy swirl in the lower left is a raindrop.

Sorry, all, I'm way behind in my final group of comments!!
Killer cats, Kit: where did those eyes come from in the first one? Crazy. I really like the second,
kind of abstract, in a way.
Interesting concept, Rob, and nice execution. I won't say a word about the mind that thought that
shot up. Not a word.
I like the yin/yang teacup: very clean, very interesting, and the yin/yang is nice and subtle, doesn't
overpower the shot.
Cheers,
Rick
