[Today’s run: 1 mile, mixed with dog and wife]
Yesterday morning we woke up to fog in the fields. I tried to take a picture of it with my new digital camera.
The camera will let you depress the shutter button partially. It then does the focus adjustments and the exposure calculation. Then you push it on down to take the picture.
When I pointed at the field directly the light sky was making the field too dark. So I pointed at some trees and did the half-push-down thing. I then swung over and clicked on the field. That seemed to help. My focus distance would have been the distance to the trees. But that’s about the same as the field distance so it worked ok.
I tried something similar when I was trying to shoot a spider web. It wasn’t focusing on the web so I tried holding up my hand and making it focus on that. Unfortunately my hand was too close so I was still not focused correctly. But I think the concept works.
