Different focal lengths (17^th April): Well this is it, toe in the water. Having read through the exercises I was clear on what was required and as I was sitting in the garden when I read through what was needed I decided to use the bird feeder hanging in the apple tree as the focal point.

I was doing fine until the requirement to close one eye, which threw me because I then couldn’t see very well through the other eye. I decided I would just have to do what I could and moved on to using the three focal lengths.

Holding the printed images against the subject is not something I had done before and it was really helpful in reinforcing the differences between the focal lengths.
