Zeroing In

Zeroing In

When using a camera, you need to consider your focus if you want a good, clear photo.

First you need to decide the frame of your shot, what will be included in the picture and what will be left out. Then you must use your zoom, pinpoint in your viewfinder what will be the center of the image, and adjust the focus so the most important part of what you’re viewing becomes clear.

While it is related to perspective, or how you see the world, focus is more about what you choose to see and how clearly you see it. In other words, the ideas, people, or circumstances you choose to zero in on.

The problem isn’t learning how to focus, exactly. I guarantee that you spend your days focusing on something, likely many things. The trick is to learn how to focus on what matters and also to train your focus so you’re better prepared to live the life that matters.

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

—Colossians 3:2
