1. Key Chain - focusing on the tennis racket strings.


2. Tennis Ball - I like this one the best.

Interesting shots!
I am amazed by the extremely shallow depth of field :O
hmm how big is that key chain?

Oh and a lil bit of off topic here but where did you get this thing? It's damn cool! :D
Can you actually bounce that ball on the racket? lol

:lol:

The keychain is maybe 3 inches? Idk. And I got it from a store called "Ardene" in the key chain section. You can't bounce it on the racket, no, lol.

Cool!!
I actually prefer the second one..
Cause in the first, before reading your comment, I couldn't figure out where to look for the focus...

Thanks !

Yeah, the first one I tried to focus on the strings, but it's really hard to see in the viewfinder what you are focusing on, if it's clear or not.

To be honest: I don't like the first shot, sorry. I find it to blurry at the 'handle'.

Second one :thumbsup:

I like the second one better too. The first one is just a bit random :)

I forget what camera you shoot with. Does it have live view ?

Nope. I'm using a XTI/400D. Live view would really help in my situation, no?
