Photography

...way out of focus. it's why dust and smudges on your lens don't show up in photos. but normally, your subject needs to be a good distance from the bars or screen in the cage......this eagle was right up to the mesh. the fact that i was using a telephoto lens at its widest aperture (f/4) and that i was so close to the subject (within about 8 feet) is what made the depth of field in the shot so narrow....but still, i wouldn't expect that the mesh would be completely invisibly.....i figured there's be some out of focus lines showing up. i imagine the overall sharpness of the shot was compromised, but at least no obstruction was visible.
