I just finished uploading the Jet Fighter ([link]). The first photos I took close-up, to force a sense of perspective. Through the viewfinder LCD, it looked dynamic and vibrant.

Through the lens, it looked out-of-focus. I was forced to photograph from a distance. I could still fill the field with the model, but it didn't have the forced perspective.

Maybe the camera has some sort of manual focus, but with the low resolution of the LCD, how can I tell when it's in true? The initial shot looked in focus on the LCD.

Maybe the trick is to use a lower resolution? I wanted to show the detail with the Jet Fighter, so it's a 2MP photo. Maybe that's overkill. I wonder if my 1.3MP phone cam would do a better job?

Live and learn.
