Someone asks: “What settings did you use?” BUT… what do you really need to know to understand why those settings were used? Use the comments to answer; Can you reproduce the photograph? Why or why not?

Someone that asks this kind of questions often don’t understand exposure, the relationship between aperture, shutter speed and ISO. They also often don’t understand the relation between what lens/focal length, distance to the subject and aperture they need to get the depth of field they want. When you understand this things you know how to set up your camera in any situation.

Sharpness, is it a lie?

Sharpness, many worry about it but is "tack sharp" something to worry about? Is it that important?

@Larry Kurfis I’m sorry someone gave you a hard time about the rule of thirds in the past, Larry. But my point wasn't about photography rules—it was about how we treat each other in this comment section.

@Larry Kurfis Exactly, that’s pretty much what I wrote from the start! Glad we agree.

Summer flowers

This time of the year it’s daylight many hours of the day in Sweden. I took this images after 9.30 pm yesterday whit my OM1 and my 60 mm macro lens at f 2.8, 1/60 sec at ISO 1600 in the first two images and f2,8 1/125 sec at ISO 6400 in the third image. Even if it’s daylight in the evening you have to rise the ISO in some situations. I love to photograph macro and close up especially when it comes to flowers and insects of different kinds.
