I only have a 300mm and a standard canon kit lens, I'm just wondering if there is way of calculating a mock hyperfocus with the manual settings?

StamatisGR In reply to stuartperry [2009-02-18 14:31:59 +0000 UTC]

LaViboraDotCom In reply to StamatisGR [2009-02-18 13:01:31 +0000 UTC]

I'm sorry. I feel like I've fallen down once, been run over twice this morning. I just can't wake up.

I have photos that I have not posted here yet that I took at the farmer's market two weekends ago. I should have more time this weekend. I took a crowd photo at the zoo on Sunday. I thought that it was going to be so good because the peeps were enjoying themselves, looking at the gorillas. No. One guy appears to have his finger in his nose (sorry). I don't think he did but it ruins the shot. I've been too busy during the week to step out and take photos. Maybe I will before this week is over.

Of course, you wouldn't know because it's never happened to you! My whole morning was an embarrassment but it wasn't in public so it didn't hurt as bad.

One can use this in any camera that has manual aperture adjustment. One needs just enough light.
