Thur 27 Apr 2023.

Tulipmania floral exhibit at Gardens by the Bay. I find it difficult to take excellent photos with my Canon R5 camera, 24-105 mm lens. I tried taking photos with AV Mode, F/22, ISO 100-200 today although there was no breezes swaying the flowers inside the Flower Dome. But the people at moving.

Photos turned out as to be not sharp.

I asked Mr Francis Lee for some tips and he was kind to do so.

1. Lens hood should be used to prevent light distraction as I had a lens hood but never used it.

2. To get sharp photos, focus at 1/3 of the distance of the image or use 1/3 distance from the bottom of the LED screen. Use AV Mode and try 3 shots at F/5.6, F/11 and F/16. Choose the one that will give me sharp photos. F/5.6 will give poor depth of field, so it may not be appropriate if I want all parts to be sharp

3. AV Mode is good as Manual Mode gets affected by fast changes of light. Today is a cloudy day and the sunlight came and went fast.

4. He explained that the quality of our lens do not produce sharp images at F/22 which I used today to get overall sharpness. Better to try F/11 or F/16. Take 3 types of settings e.g. F/8, F/11 and F/16.

5. Very kind of Mr Lee to offer free advices by email if I need to know more.

Wed. I tried TV Mode, 1/1000 sec at ISO Auto. Not great photos. In conclusion, better to use AV Mode, F/11 and ISO 100-400 when there is bright light.
