Cousins reunion in Sydney

Cousins reunion, Peilin, Leong, Ah Mei and ME.

- Cousins reunion in Sydney, part of my celebration for passing FRACP written exams:)

And Bec:)

- For the photographers reading this post, note the difference in the the 2 photos above. Both were taken using F2.8, with the same depth of field. The difference between the 2 photos is,  in the first photo, the focal point is on Leong; in the second photo the focal point is on me. 2/3  depth of field lie in front of the focal point, and 1/3 depth of field lie behind the focal point. Therefore when the focus was on Leong, everybody in the photo appear to be sharp. But when the focus was on me, sitting much nearer to the camera, the people at the back looks blury. In order to get everyone in the photo to look sharp, the photographer could choose to focus on Leong, who is sitting about 2/3 into the depth of field. Or, he could choose to use a smaller apperture (ie F5.6 or F8 or more), therefore increasing the depth of field. That is provided there is enough light for correct exposure.

After dinner, Teh Tarik at my place

The 3rd picture was taken with F4.5. Therefore there is a slightly deeper depth of field. Subjects look sharp.
