In the pics of the two knives together the 21 is slightly out of focus. The pics were taken on full auto with a Canon SLR, and is exactly what Tom is talking about with depth of field. I focussed on the front knife (GTR).

Tom,

A good idea without getting long winded:

Automatic Mode:This is point and shoot mode. The camera selects what "it thinks" is the best exposure based on available lighting.

Aperture Priority: The user selects the f stop or aperture, the camera automatically selects the shutter speed. Use when you need to control depth of field. Do not use when freezing the action is important. A tripod might be needed for long exposure times at higher numbered f stops.

Shutter Priority: The user selects the speed, the camera selects the aperture or f stop. Use when freezing the action is important like sports events. Don't use when focus at different distances is critical. For instance you might want to photograph a person but want the background in focus too.

Programmed Mode: The camera has predetermined combinations of both aperture and shutter. It's really just marrying the other two modes together. It all does the same thing.

My suggestion is when taking some photos take some in the automatic mode, then also take some using the semi-auto modes and see how the different setting affect the results. I rarely shoot in automatic mode especially if I have the time to compose my subject.

Best,
Warren

Dale,

It's good to see you back on your feet again. Glad you're feeling better. Looks like the fishing trip was a success.

Best,
Warren

Dale, great to hear you are feeling better. I hear this years flu is a real pain, glad I got my flu shot early. Great pictures, your daughter is growing real fast, cherish these moments and hope you limited out.
