Strong believer in the best camera you can own is the one you have with you. To this end many of my photos are using a camera phone.

I have limited experience using Lightroom.  Very impressed with its ability to pull detail out of RAW files.

Aperture also impacts depth of field. The smaller the number the more shallow the depth of field. For example f/1.8 provides a shallow depth of field with only subjects close to the lens in focus.  f/22 has a very large depth of field and will make everything in the image in focus. ]]> 2023-01-24 23:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/BobBeckwith/Bob/wish/2455449024 BobBeckwith https://padlet.com/BobBeckwith/Bob/wish/2455453759 The length of time the shutter is opened.

The memorial was unveiled on the 10th of September 1921 by Leut-Colonel Pollard CMG DSO and dedicated by the Primitive Methodist Minister, Reverend J Metcalf.  The memorial was made by T & G of Blyth and paid for by public subscription; the site was donated by Lord Hastings.
