A lot of people have been asking me about depth of field and f-stops lately, so here’s a good example of what your camera’s aperture can do. The first shot was at a wide aperture of f/5.6, while the second, was at f/18. Ordinarily on a landscape shot like this, I’d opt for the smaller aperture of f/18 in order to get edge to edge sharpness, but on this example I actually think I like the first one better because of its odd sense of motion. These are blue columbines, the state flower of Colorado. The location was in the northern part of the state up by the Wyoming border.
great example, Sean. I cant stop playin’ with my f-stop!
i love the separation you’re getting in the first shot. Its almost a 3D effect, and that pop of color off the background really feels like its springing forward
