Photography: Focus

One of the things I struggle with in taking pictures is FOCUS.

According to Mark Hancock, the definition of focus are: 1) The position at which rays of light from a lens converge to form a clear and sharply defined image on a focal plane. 2) The action of adjusting the distance between the lens and subject to make light rays converge to form a clear and sharply defined image of the subject.

I walked around Makati Park and Garden near my school to relax, and practiced focusing on some birds I found at the park. It was really challenging because they were inside this big cage, but it was also rewarding when I got some clear shots.

See the bars the camera lens had to go through to focus on these majestic winged creatures? When I got a clear shot, I was like “Whoah. Cool!” Haha!

Okay, back to learning.

P.S. Does anyone have an idea what kind of birds those are? I couldn’t find any information by the cage.
