Re: Nikon D60 Photos

I have been a pro photographer for over 30 years and I would not recommend shooting at f22. Most lens work better at the middle f stop, i.e if you have a 2.8lens that goes to f22 the optimum aperture is f8. Far too many think stop fully down and everything will be in focus this in part is correct however test your lens using a lens test chart and you will see that at f22 you will lose some edge definition this is the case with the most expensive lenses. Test your lens find the best f stop and try and work using that f stop.
Always were possible use a tripod even when in good light, it gives you time to look at your subject concentrate on composition. Composition starts in the eye then the view finder and then the base board or PC monitor. It is also useful to have white card with you to use as a reflector to fill in those dark unwanted areas without blasting the subject with flash
