Well, I've tried low light and lanscape (scenery), so now I'm going to go for flowers. Facing all kinds of challenges. Can't figure why an f stop one time seems to give a lot of DOF and another time doesn't. I'm finding that some monomchrome flowers while nice to look at with your eyes, are totally flat in a pictures. Tried to turn of the ADL a few times hoping to get more contrast. Again, just trying different things and asking here when I'm stuck. Constructive feedback is always a good thing. I read somewhere on this site that the focus is about 1/3 in front of your focus point and 2/3 behind. I think that is very helpful to know too.</p>

<p>In-camera Sharpening was up on all of these. How much I'm not sure. Number 1 was one of the first picture batches for me and I'll bet that was set at 9 (0-9). I've since turned it down to 7 after reading most people are using 6 or 7.</p>
