I decided to play with my F-stop (F/29 and F/32) this morning in my garden. I normally take most of my flowers from F5.4 to F10. Here are some photos.
This is also my entry for Lillie-Put blog 2020 Home Photo Challenge.
F/29
These were all taken at F32
I’ve put together a list of challenges and their hosts. So if you know a challenge host, please direct them to my blog. Feel free to contact me anytime. I hope everyone will be able to use my lists.

It depends on the lens. 40 is usually the highest. Most lens go down to 5.4. The macro lenses and expensive lenses can go to down to one.

Did you notice diffraction at very small apertures? The sweet spot on my mirrorless is nowhere near the smallest.

It depends on the lighting more….at least that is what I notice. 😀

I was always after an image suitable for a gardening or botanical publications rather than the impressionistic image.

Unless it is your job….go for what makes you happy. Not what you think others want. 😀 Remember that playing around is always a happy act.
