/ Deirdre Reynolds / From Hot Springs, United States “I am 39 years old and I am blessed with a wonderful husband and five children. I am currently attending college to get my BS in IT for web design. I enjoy various kinds of art, but I particularly love abstracts and fractals. I also enjoy photography and painting. I mostly work with Incendia and Apophysis, but I also dabble around with Sterlingware and Chaoscope. I plan on picking up Ultrafractal one of these days, but time and money don’t favor it at this time.” / Philip Gaida / From Laives, Italy “After studying at the Fine-Art Academy of Paris, I travelled the world for more than fifteen years working as painter, stage decorator but also windsurfing , sailing and snow-skiing instructor and many many other jobs. / I had chance to meet artists from all the continents, that’s the reason why I can paint about downtown Paris, Kenya or a Hawaian beach, they all helped me in this way. / Art has no border.” / verdigrisroseR / / “Hi, / I am a mixed media artist from Melbourne, Australia. / I am also an art therapy workshop facilitator and counsellor. / I have only just begun doing art and am mostly self taught. / I am inspired by all forms of art, and love creating with colour as my starting point.” Stay tuned more to come soon.

I was reading this week about aperture and the low, middle and upper aperture settings on a lens and learned something interesting I thought I would share with folks here on RB who may not have heard it either. Sharpness in a lens is best at the middle apertures f/8 or f/11, (I’m sure we’ve all heard this before), but smaller apertures give us a perception of more of the scene in focus (greater depth of field). This means that many people think that f/22 is most often the aperture that gives us the sharpest aperture – but it is not. In fact f/22 is most often the aperture that gives us the worst performance in terms of optical sharpness. Generally anything beyond f/16 yields less overall sharpness. An aperture of say f/16 yields great depth of field and still provides good optical sharpness. The same holds true for wide apertures, say (f/2.8). Optical sharpness is lower with the widest aperture, but is increased by stopping down one stop from wide open, still leaving a very shallow depth of field. So in this case f/4 or one stop above your widest aperture will result in the best optical sharpness. Don’t know how truly accurate this info is, but it makes reasonable sense and I certainly planned to put it into practice. Any added thoughts or opinions are welcome.
