The food one will give shallow depth of field. No bad thing for the macro look but if you can get closer without using it the result will be better.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-88994567534232777962014-09-28T11:28:50.386+01:002014-09-28T11:28:50.386+01:00Adrian - the centre of Birmingham is buzzing.

It needed snapping. By the way professor, in my bridge camera I have found a setting for close-ups of food and in fact it acts as a "macro" setting. I shall try it out very soon - especially if I spot some autumnal spiders.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-77697457592020044402014-09-28T11:22:09.921+01:002014-09-28T11:22:09.921+01:00"Wunder-wunderschön" is a cool phrase.
