    Sedona AZ (February 12, 2012) – Today’s camera’s sophisticated features go a long way towards helping create beautiful images, but they can’t think and see for us. Sometimes camera functions, such as autofocus, are better left turned off.

    Autofocus works well in most situations, but it can be problematic with close up photography. This is because with short depths of field often used at close range, camera sensors randomly select one of many focal points, which may not be the one you want. For example, you’re trying to zero in on a beautiful flower and the camera focuses on the leaves behind it instead… This can be frustrating and sometimes something photographers don’t even notice until they see their pictures after a shoot, when it’s too late to do anything about it.

    To get around this problem, if your camera will allow, set your lens to manual when doing close up photography. Then focus the lens yourself by turning it and/or moving a bit closer or further away from your subject until it’s sharp in the way you want. After you’re done remember to set your lens back to autofocus so you don’t inadvertently go on shooting thinking the lens is focusing for you when it’s not. To find out how to turn the autofocus feature on and off for your camera, consult your manual.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
