Yes, given the time to think it through, manual aperture and a higher ISO would have been good choices. But, I didn't have the time. I was just looking for a decent image to use in learning the ins and outs of Picture Window Pro.

Hi Moose,

I found that bloom in late afternoon, in a shady spot. The exposures I made were with ISO at 320, resulting in 1/120 at f/4. Stopping down, as you and Chuck suggest, would have required a much higher ISO, which brings its own set of problems.

Does that camera/lens not have IS? I wouldn't think ISO 320 is very high on it, either. F/8, 1/60 and ISO 640-800 should work rather well, I'd think.

And, the background would begin to come into focus.

Ah well, not too much at f/5.6 then? Especially with the focal plane moved forward.

And I, of course, wouldn't worry too much about that. Masking flower from background and blurring to taste is pretty easy for me. I do understand your concern.

I'm happy with my choice.

Which is as it should be. :-)
