What's The Smallest Thing You Will Do Today To Adjust Your Focus?

I have lots of friends who are photographers, including my husband. Having dabbled a bit with it myself, and being older, I came from an age when autofocus didn't exist--and it took a delicate touch to adjust my lens on my simple little Pentax camera in order to get an unfuzzy photo.

This was further complicated by the fact that I am near sighted, and didn't always wear my glasses. Sometimes, I overcompensated with the camera because I couldn't see clearly--so I forced the camera lens to do the work that glasses should have done.

My instructor also showed me some neat tricks with depth of field, so that I could blur things that were close to bring things further away into focus--and vice versa.

Framing the object of focus and drawing the eye to it in a photo is an art form.

It occurs to me that it's an art form to do it outside photography, as well. People who write, or market, or do much communicating do it constantly, a kind of sleight-of-hand piece that tells us where to put our focus--"Look over HERE!"

But you have the lens in your hand. Maybe it's a good thing once in a while to clean it and make sure your glasses are in place.

And remember...what you focus on is what you get in the frame.
