For this challenge, get out there and take a picture demonstrating the concept of focus. Depending on your skill level or type of camera, tinker with the manual settings, use the auto focus feature, or play around with an app.
Daily Post August, 23rd 2013
This week’s photo challenge is all about Focus. My skill level and camera are both pretty basic and I can’t really tinker with the manual settings but I do like to have fun with apps so the last suggestion above is the direction I decided to follow.
Tuesday’s Photography 101: Finding Your Focus post by Cherie and Matthew George is full of great information and tips for new photographers looking for help when it comes to depth of field and aperture. For those of us who frequently take photos with our phones the end of the post contains descriptions and links to several apps that can give our images more interest and dimension during the editing process.
Using this “new-to-me” information I bought the BigLens app mentioned in the final quick tips section and have had fun all week experimenting with iPhone photos. After using the aperture and filter selections in BigLens I finished with a frame in Snapseed.
Can’t wait to have time to try some apps. 🙂 Good job.

Invites me into the sand and surf.
Thanks Sally, it is a fun place to spend the afternoon. 🙂
Really like this photo!
Thank you Amy, very nice to hear!
Very nice!
Thank you!
Very nice shot! I was really interested to discover on the weekly prompt that Instagram has a focus tool (which I didn’t know about) so it was definitely useful for me because in addition to my canon camera I use my i-phone quite a bit and that doesn’t generally have a lot of functionality in the camera department!
Thanks for your visit and comments! I really liked the fact that this photography 101 had tips for all kinds of photographers. I think I will try the Instagram tool this week. 🙂

the man and the sea …
You always know just the right comment Frizz… It is nice to watch Ryan at the beach, his whole body relaxes and he watches the water, weather and sea creatures with such focus.
Very nice pic!
Thank you! I really enjoy your work and am happy to hear you like this photo of mine. 🙂
