Steve,
You can read about the depth of field on the internet. Yes, stopping down the lens (with a smaller aperture) can help with that, so that more things are sharp.

Photobygms,
That's an adorable little robin when I viewed it at the larger size.

Dig,
We have an excellent rose garden here in town, called the Volksgarten. I always seem to go there either a week too early or a week too late each year. I will try this week.

Photobygms,
That's a pretty violet flower. Where did you do the hiking?
-
Thanks Mocha. I hope you are able to find some good wild rose flowers. I have found them to be good subjects too.

Mocha,
I like the spring green pathway; it is quite heavenly. Those are some very cute baby Coots! Those white and red/pink flowers are beautiful. I like the background too. Your damselfly is stunning...wow...great job with that one.

Subject: A Non-Event
People that know me, know I like to attend events to document the activities. This time I went to a Cinco de Mayo (5th of May) Mexican celebration in a public city park. To my amazement, they wanted a $25 admission fee for each person. So instead of attending this "non-event", I walked around the perimeter of the park documenting this closure and requirement for admission. I haven't found an answer to my question or not, whether this was legal to fence off a public space. I had never seen anything like this ever. Very few other people paid the admission fee either for what I saw for about two hours. I don't know if people came later or not. So enjoy seeing what I saw.
Photo No. 1 - There was a car show. So I looked over the fence and saw this. I also saw no people on the grass near the performer's stage, which would normally be filled with people.

Nice rainbow shots, Dig. But why use f/9? 😁
Cinco de Mayo event was weird. What were they offering to justify a 25 bucks entrance fee -- apart from all the front seats at the staged event?
According to exif, some of these photos were even at f/11. I think you might open up a little and you can reduce ISO. Unless you have a good reason that I havent twigged. 😀

NIce flower photos, Sandy. I sense you must be an active gardener! The little EF40mm used to be a favourite of mine, as it is miniscule and I have never cared for the 50mm focal length; but its small size is compromised by the EF-RF convertor my R6 needs, so I use the RF35 f/1.8 in its place these days. I find both lenses excellent.

Cool photos Digirame.
I don't suppose you made it to the end of the rainbow? 😉 -
I enjoyed seeing your "non-event" photos Digirame.
-
Thanks David. I was much more into digging and planting decades ago. Now the knees and hips make me primarily enjoy them instead. Amazing how long some peonies live. And the colony of thalictrum and astilbe started around 1994. Hellebores are favorites too. I believe in long lived, low maintenance, and bug and deer resistant plants!

The camera wasnt Canon however the vintage Vivitar 70-210 lens came equipped with a Canon mount so perhaps I can be forgiven the fact for this to be a SonyxCanon hybrid result.

Sandy,
Those are pretty purple and yellow flowers. Thanks for identifying them for us also...that is, the Meadow Rue and Golden Ragwort.
