[Process - museo de rbcdartI am always testing, playing, trying to get things to the point... these posts are along those lines.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/92/6d/926d519d-f11f-485f-bd18-8456e07a63e7/content/images/icon/20191208-Before-Coffee12-6-2019-2of3-386.jpg)museo de rbcdart![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/92/6d/926d519d-f11f-485f-bd18-8456e07a63e7/content/images/thumbnail/Process-5356-3.jpg)](https://www.rbcdart.com/tag/process/)

This was rejected from one of the stock photo services because of "Soft Focus: The main subject of this image is not in focus." Submitting to the online services trained up my developing and photographing skills quite a bit. I was even giving advice to other photographers in the chat group on why their work was rejected. Eventually everything I took was on a tripod at a maximum of 200 ASA and a minimum f16, in raw format. Still feel nervous about using 200 ASA...
