Looking For....

Today, I took this lens out... Some how, I am missing focus with lens... I am not able to understand... I am doing front focusing with this lens.. But I think issues is related to stability of lens and my face because of the weight & DoF... As my lens focusing ring is tight, I am not able to get very stable grip.. What I am thinking, moving the lens after focusing to compose the scene, is moving the plane by an inch..

This is a result of on point focus (targeted point, the leaf)..

Takumar 200mm f3.5 preset, captured wide open f3.5

"Looking for.."



The lens is really gem.. but heavy...

Nice photographic idea!
If you accept a couple of suggestions:

- I would cut out some of the fence at right, the first three elements at right, so that the composition is de-centred (which adds dynamism). To further balance, I would also cut some fence at the bottom.

- normally I am against cloning out form photographs parts that are not simple noise, but in this case I would make an exception and clone out the shadows, which detract from the impact. The leaf alone would be much more powerful.

Thanks Orio...
I will try to do (the changes as you suggested) first optically. As this is captured just outside home, I am sure, I will be able to find almost same composition later too... For shadow, I will try to get on some cloudy mid-day... Columbus is really bad with sun light (one of the minimum sunny day city in office), I am hoping to get that too (without shadow)..

Thanks again...
