These photos of the beech hedge were taken to explore depth of field, and also to explore the colour differences as the hedge turned from green through gold to brown.
The camera was hand held and supported by image stabilisation. The lens is wide angle in use; 40 - 150 mm
f/22; ISO 400; 0.30 second; focal length 40 mm
Just how this photo is not completely blurred with a shutter speed of 0.3 second is chance. ISO 400 worked - just!
f/5.6; ISO 400; 1/60 second; focal length 43 mm
A narrower depth of field, but the rest of the hedge is visible. The colours and textures of the foreground are fascinating, and compare well with the lawn and hedge in the background. This iamge is in my final selection and is discussed fully there. I am quite delighted with it.
f/5.6; ISO 400; 1/40 second; focal length 45 mm
This image is far less interesting - no contrasts in colour or texture.
An interesting image with a very narrow depth of field.
f/5.6; ISO 800; 1/160 second; focal length 45 mm
Again a narrow depth of field, but less satisfactory than the (2nd) image above. There is less colour and contrast - less to interest the observer.
