katydid...work on using aperture creatively.

I freaking puffy heart a good depth of field! And how do you get that, class? That's right, say it with me: A-PER-TURE! HOLLA! So, this weekend Hans & I headed over to T.R. Island and tried to capture what late fall looks like here. It's a pretty ugly time of year. The trees are half barren and there's lots of brown around. This is what I came up with:



Notice that it's basically the same picture, just different focal points (one has the focus on the foreground & one has the background).

I love the pattern & texture on the tree. I was trying to focus on pattern this weekend. It can be so hard photographing places and things that are familiar to you. Hans & my teacher suggested that when we have "photographer's"-block, we focus instead on shadow, lines, etc. to help us see our world in a new light.

I don't know what these berries are, but I love this grouping of three.



I wish all of these pictures were crisper...my shutter speed was a bit too slow and I was shivering! :)

Santa, can I have a tripod PLEASE?!? I've been good! Promise! ;)
