Depth of field -

Experiment in depth of field using f2.8 focussing on the centre statue at Bangkok airport.
Statues in front and behind the centre statue are out of focus.

Alone on the Hill - Cumbria UK - By Barend

I was lucky enough to spend a week in the UK last month. The weather was unusually kind and I had a few hours to myself for photography before heading back home to Australia.

 I came across a lonely stable high up on a hilltop. In the UK there is freedom to roam on all land so I jumped over the fence knowing I wouldn't get shot by an angry farmer.

Took my photos and headed off again in search of more pictures.

-          Could I have found a better angle?

-          How could I have got the nearest wall of the building to be a bit brighter without over exposing the sky?

-          Is the fence line a good leading line or is it distracting?

-          Is it worth spending the time cropping out that orange object at the doorway to the stable?

Any comments welcome.

A picture of Thom taken at our workshop on portraiture. Hand held with
anti-shake, Pentax K20D, 70mm lens, f4.5 @ 1/20 sec, ISO100. Captured in
RAW b&w conversion and enhancement in Photoshop.
Thanks to Thom for leading an instructive portrait workshop.
I wonder if a little darkening at the bottom of the photo would help.
