"The Boat"

( Great River, NY     9/22/18 )

In my Digital Photography I class we learned about depth of field (see very first Blog post) and i was curious on the ability of my camera. I currently shoot with an older DSLR camera. I shoot with a Nikon D50 and i wanted to test where my camera and "kit lens" could catch with an extreme aperture and how much detail i could catch in the background as well as the foreground. So i went to a park near my house and i took this shot at ISO 800, f/36, and at a 1/500 sec. shutter speed.  While i did capture this beautiful shot my camera seemed to have locked up something internally and i had to partially take off the lens to close what ever stayed open. But it didn't affect my photo.
