Wow, you guys have some great shots! Here are a few of mine.



For guys with more know how then me.. in this second pic is there a way I can get the focus clear on the mountain in this pic as well as the life jacket? I have a Nikon D90 and just getting into this a little more. Thanks

@ mtmn35rem5

That is a neat picture with the life jacket. It may be tough to get both the foreground and background in focus with a picture like that since you are so close to the lifejacket. The camera can't capture that much depth of field. Some things you could try and experiment with to capture that photo how you want is to stand further back from the life jacket, set your aperture as high as you can (not familar with your camera but f/18-f/22), using a tripod is a must, and focus about 1/3 into the scene.  This is where manual focus comes in handy. When you focus this way it will look blury in the viewfinder but will come out good if done correctly. It can be done with autofocus but manual focus gives you much more control. It takes some practice but learning it is a ton of fun. I'm sure others will have some great advice.

f/18 would likely have done it. Cool shot though. :tup:

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
