Aperture Leftover
Anybody out there remember the brief example of how aperture works that I posted back in February? No? That's okay. I'm not the best teacher in the world. The shots I took that you saw in that post were kind of a field test for me as I was trying out the different apertures in order to decide which one I would use for taking this photograph you see here. I always take test shots to make sure that everything is just they way I want in my photographs. It's one of the reasons why photo-walks with myself, or any other real photographer, tend to be a long patience testing experience for non-photographers. It's not just point-and-shoot with me. I really liked that this forgotten strand of tall field grass stood out against the blue sky, but also wanted to keep a bit of the mountain and other foliage in the bottom of the shot. I ended up taking this photograph at f/4, 1/1250sec, ISO 100 at 25mm. The only thing that I don't like about the shot is that I can't think of a better word than 'tall field grass' to describe what we're looking at. I don't think my Grandfather, who was a farmer, would approve of my term.
