john_barry 0 Posted September 5, 2001 This is my beagle. Quite a thinker. I used my Nikkor 85mm with a 5T close up lens. Do you think the DOF is too narrow? Tried to get his eyes as much in focus as possible, it's difficult with the 5T close up lens. Did this photo work?? I used Porta B&W (excellent film), Sepia tone done in PhotoPaint. Thanks.

squirrelman 0 Posted September 5, 2001 Next time, try using a wider angle lense, set up in a brighter space to allow a higher F stop, and get as close as the required depth of field will allow. I like the photo anyway, but an "in focus" nose would have made it even better. Link to comment
dzhaughnne 0 Posted September 5, 2001 I must disagree. Perhaps true beauty is in the eye of the beheld. Link to comment
amy_hoy 0 Posted September 5, 2001 It doesn't bother me that his *nose* is out of focus, because it's a black thing and generally you don't want to see every little wrinkle on a dog's snout in the first place. But there is a sharp line demarcating the out-of-focus fur on the muzzle behind the nose and the fur on the face, which is visually distracting to me. Otherwise, I love this picture. Link to comment
mistym 0 Posted June 13, 2002 I love how this photo looks, the focus is really drawn to the one eye, which is where it should be. It really personifies the dog. Link to comment
