One of my favorite barns

One of my favorite barn settings.  I've looked at it for a few years.  

Hwy 55, Lynchburg, TN

Aperture SOOC Sunday



f2.8    1/640sec   ISO 200

f3.5    1/500sec   ISO 200 

f5.0    1/200sec   ISO 200 

f8.0    1/160sec   ISO 400 

f11.0    1/125sec   ISO 640


I enjoy doing macros with a series of apertures and seeing the different depths of field or DOF.

The wider (smaller f number) your shutter opening (aperture), the more shallow the focus will be.

This is not a perfect study because I did not use a tripod and you can see I did have varying distances in these since I was holding the camera.
The lens was maybe 1 foot away from the group of flowers.

I thought my focus point was consistent, but evidently I missed it on the first shot.  

Auto ISO
No flash
SOOC jpg  No adjustment other than reduce for web

I forget my flower anatomy, but those white tips on the ?stamen? of the azalea always get my attention.
Maybe I need to get a microscope.

I think I like the f3.5 better.

Which shot is your favorite?

Noblit-Lytle House


The same dreary day as my previous two or three posts.
Again, just off Hwy 11, Giles County, Tennessee



There is a barn, of course, but I'll save that for Barn Charm.






I missed the composition on the fence photos.
Heads shouldn't be chopped off in photos - including fences.




A view of the home place from the hill where the cemetery is.



Should you be interested, here is a link to Noblit Cemetery on Find A Grave
And, for any history buffs, I Googled "Giles County Noblit" and got several interesting pages.



There is more moss planned for the future.  I hope you like it.
