Description

A pleasant door to open if you have cards or letters from loved ones:) My setup: First clean the mailbox. I then decided the focal length needed by focusing the distance on the outside of the box using a tripod leg to focus on. Next switched it to manual focus & secured it with a rubber band. I propped up the lens slightly & pushed the camera all the way to the back of the box. I first tried a 10 sec. self timer but a cable release w/ cord behind the letters worked better & I used my left hand to fire the shutter. I tried different glasses & no glasses & decided the dark lens put more emphasis on the door than my eyes. My settings were F4 1/100 iso 400 @28mm. Processed in Clarity & corrected chromatic aberrations in PSE.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
