“美國海軍軍艦船名 US Navy’s USS Peleliu (LHA-5) Name Inscription” / USS Peleliu (LHA-5) in Hong Kong / SML.20130418.6D.01593

I feel that it is important to have a shot with the name clearly spelled out so this is a shot for that.

 

I bought the 100-400 rather recently and have not tested fully how far the depth of field would go so I shot many of the photos for this set in the f/8 range where possible.

 

For most of the Canon lenses, the f/8 is generally the sweet spot. Many people think that stopping further would be sharper, but actually when you go towards f/22, optical diffraction would become noticeable and thus rendering the image “less sharp” overall.

 

I only had one shot at this so not having had much experience with this lens, I just went with something at f/8 range—thankfully the Canon EOS 6D’s high ISO range is quite usable, unlike the 7D.
