If the hole is big, the rays of light spread out all around the hole and the edge rays are close to the hole as they pass through. (get a stick and put it through the hole with as much slant as possible. see how close the ends of the stick are at the edge? That is short focus.)<br />If the hole is tiny, the ray of light passing through cannot get close to the edge. that is long focus.<br />And I think a tamarack and a larch are much the same thing.<br />Nice needle shot, ACMARY Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178370815712313585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-56845082691602901832014-11-24T07:54:54.245-05:002014-11-24T07:54:54.245-05:00Tamaracks are especially beautiful this time of ye...Tamaracks are especially beautiful this time of year.

Great explanation on f stops. I don't know much about f-stops, but I do know that it is backward (number-wise) from what one would think. Always confuses me. But I'm easily confused, anyway.<br />:)))<br />Smiles,<br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-23463561996398616062014-11-22T18:27:24.379-05:002014-11-22T18:27:24.379-05:00I'm with Tex.

I tend to stick with shutter speed preferred and use that to take best advantage of the light.<br /><br />Would you believe that I had no idea about tamaracks until I moved up here last autumn and saw so many "yellow pines?" I wondered if trees were dying or were they normal. I soon learned but it was a new revelation for this city girl. And even for Frank. ;)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-34867235820723740822014-11-22T14:00:19.010-05:002014-11-22T14:00:19.010-05:00I prefer the second though with my macro lenses ge...I prefer the second though with my macro lenses getting any thing over about an inch in focus is an achievement.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-42145809441056644872014-11-22T13:09:52.165-05:002014-11-22T13:09:52.165-05:00The tamarack?
