Time has been short the last few days, so I’m going through some of my past pictures. Took this picture a few minutes before the sun set last weekend.
This was taken at 300mm zoom, and an aperture of F7, which has resulted in the depth of field being very shallow, due more to the 300mm than the F7. Even though the fence is 6-12 inches away it has been blurred out yet the plant is still in sharp focus. The background would be blurred even further by opening up the aperture to F5.6, but my lens performs poorly there and the entire image would be softer. An aperture of F10+ would have resulted in a sharper more in-focus background, but the subject would not have been as isolated.
As always click the picture for a larger version.
