Picture with my new camera lens

[FastEddy]

I purchased a Canon 28-200 lens for my Digital Rebel today.
I want to Fisherman's Wharf and did some cash bargaining at a camera store. I got the lens listed above for 310.00 an optical doubler and a 72mm UV filter for another 100.00.

I still haven't figured it all out yet but I'm getting closer.

The flower is about the size of my thumb nail.

Very nice Eddy, I really like macro photography, nice shallow depth of field.

Your camera really does take some great pictures. Seems like it was totally worth the purchase price. Well I remember the fast one that you pulled on best buy but I still say good for you.

How would I open the depth up about a 16th to an 8th inch more? I was shooting on automatic.

Best Buy has gotten so much of my money over the years I don't feel the leas bit guilty. Fact is they ran a sale last week for 10.00 less than what I paid. I couldn't bring my self to go in and ask for a price match.

What F stop were you shooting at? The smaller the number i.e. F-2.8 will have a very shallow depth of field as in your pic. The higher the number i.e. F-22 will have a much deeper depth of field. So if you want more of the background in focus use a higher f stop. Personally I like it the way you shot it, too much stuff in the background takes away from the pic.
