Good afternoon,
I wonder if someone could answer/throw some light on something for me?
For some time I have been convinced that I am suffering a focusing issue on Auto focus. I shoot mainly landscapes and my eyes are not what they were so I tend to rely on auto focus on early morning shots. I did an early/dawn road trip to Aldeburgh yesterday for dawn and it didn't let me down. However, I always have to play with the sharpness on my images in PP. So, this afternoon I took a couple of pictures in the garden, Canon 70D, 18-135mm is stm lens, all at 135mm but running through the aperture values. I have always shot on f8 (because that's what the general consensus of opinion says) and was rather shocked at the results. The first image is at f8 and the second at f11, looking at the background in the first image, it appears to be focusing on the gravel board, not the dog. I am I right in thinking the second image at f11 is sharper because of the greater depth of field f11 gives? Is this something I can adjust?
Many Thanks in advance.
Simon
