i have been learning how to use my newly acquired DA560.

this is starting with things that are easy to take pictures of. hand held in our yard



focus is center spot on the nose. DOF is very shallow

A great looking model. Nice shot.

looks like you are learning quickly. A nice Happy Doggy Portrait!

Thanks

I’ve only had it a few days, but I have already learned a lot, but I missed on the focus here, I went for the nose not the eyes

I am writing a little diary of impressions and things learned that I will post shortly as an article. From my return on experience there is a lot I have learned that I have not seen addressed anywhere.

It actually seems like a pretty easy lens to use

Thanks to both. She is having a really hard time social distancing, usually people come up just to say hello, but now people pass her by and she thinks she did something wrong. It is a really hard time for a friendly dog.
