In the first half I rant about a few news items and discuss DoF in the second half. We'll have a redo on DoF. Probably a few redos. It's not a simple subject. This time around, I focus (pun intended) primarily on f-stop/aperture and how it effects DoF.

Remember those free websites from the late 80's and 90's? What was the company? I keep thinking MySpace, but it was something else. Dorky-assed websites with gaudy backgrounds and that stoopid music? Everyone put those orange road cones on their home page with 'Under Construction' on it.

I want my Zenfolio site to be a showcase for my best work and most of my photos are trivial, what someone once called 'docushots'.

After almost two years hiatus, I've given up on Facebook and and come back here to talk. What a strange place, Facebook. You 'friend' people you've never actually met.
