My attempt at using my cam­era to be funny…

When I was com­ing back from Ger­many two weeks ago I had to spend a few hours in Frank­furt to catch my flight back to Dub­lin. When I opened my note­book, first thing I did was to turn off the WiFi (called “Air­Port” on a Mac) in order to safe some bat­tery power. Well, there you go. You’re in an air­port and you click some­thing on your laptop to turn the Air­Port off.

Ok, even if the photo is of lim­ited humour­istic value, tech­nic­ally it was some­what tricky to real­ise. As this is almost a macro shot, the biggest prob­lem here is depth of field. As you can see, I dialled in a fairly high aper­ture of ƒ/​13 so that the back­ground didn’t get too blurred. I would have loved to go higher, but I didn’t want to increase the ISO any fur­ther (and the shot was done hand-​held, with the laptop, well, on the top of my lap).
