Robert Frost - A Tribute to the Source (read)
Frost was at work on a new book. Poems from Derry were still
maturing, some from England were almost ready. He had never
succeeded in larruping a poem as one might a horse to make

The camera should not get in the way of composing/framing
images. Most cameras have the capability to "lock" exposure
and auto focus functions. Some customizing allows the
decoupling of these two lock functions. Check the camera

is important that the camera does what you want and not you
having to live with doing what the camera wants. The camera
should not get in your way!

Photo Assignment - Focus on the subject
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBdH-bttN-c
Photograph a person's face. Pay attention to the background.
Blurr the background so our attention is really on the
subject--the person. The whole face does not have to be in
focus, but the eyes should be.
For dSLR photographers, using the largest aperture helps.
For iPhone photographers, getting close, and portrait mode
helps.
