I find that if you focus on the hub, then the rim is slightly out of focus and vice versa. So I try to focus on the wall of the cup about halfway between the hub and the rim. For profile shots, the concept is the same. Rather than focusing on the bearing or the rim, I focus on the catch zone halfway between the bearing and the rim.
Interesting. Iāll try that. I have noticed that it doesnāt look quite right when I focus on the hub or the rim, the same thing goes for the profile.
Cool, let me know how it works out.
Unless thereās something I want to draw attention to, I set a larger depth of field and focus on the closest point of the yoyo. This means the whole thing is in focus. You can set a tiny aperture if youāre using a tripod, resulting in sharp photos of the whole yoyo.
If you donāt have a manual mode on the camera (itās a phone or a point and click) just make sure thereās heaps of light. The camera will automatically back off on the aperture in order to not blow out the photo. Itās hard to get depth of field with those kinds of cameras anyhow. Then just focus on whatever the autofocus wants to grab (usually the front).
Back to the first scenario, thoughā¦ the only time to do hub in focus, front of rims out of focus is when you specifically want to draw attention to the engraving or hub features. Otherwise it just makes the whole photo kinda weird in my opinion. When in doubt, focus on the front.
Figured Iāll pop these in here, took them the other day.
Iām not a particularly active photographer, but itās good fun here and there.
Awesome

^ That wood version photographs so nicely. Great natural light on that shot.
I was playing with it outside and for some reason it was shiny as 7075, had to take a pic
