Beans on Toast - excellent; they HP?? I used to be an HP man until I tried those Branston ones, now they are the business Vince :biggrin: And the spaghetti is great on toast too :wavey:

Great image Vince but I would have been tempted to jack up the ISO to 400 and pinch the extra fstops for a tad more DoF :toast:

Hi Vince

Nice setting, BG and all round image but agree with Andy re a tad more DOF as the head is not quite there and a little tight in the frame for me!

Nice one Vincent. Take the points about a bit more dof but there is some backgound detail starting to consolidate and one always has to make a trade. I think that you have got it about right. You are getting good use out of that new 105VR.
