Day 25- Ding, ding, ding . . .

I stayed home most of today- so here is a still life featuring my grandmother’s school bell and some of my mother’s books (sitting on my father’s antique dental cabinet). I do love old things!

I worked on various focusing techniques today- my usual half-pressed shutter-focusing and recomposing, back-button focus, and toggling the focus points.  The focus point toggling seems very awkward to me, perhaps because I don’t have enough points to always hit the spot in my composition that I want to be in focus.  I did not find the back-button focusing any crisper than my regular method, but I did find that sometimes the toggling could produce a more focused image (but it takes me longer). I think that this particular shot was my usual focus and recompose technique.
