Photo of the Week 2012-06-18

A few weeks back I spent the morning hours in and around Elora Gorge photographing as sun began to spill through the trees and into the gorge.

Working with depth of field (DoF) has always been a technique that I employ in making my images. Here I wanted to convey a sense of depth as I compressed the distance using my 70-200 zoom at 173mm and f/16. A more conventional approach to creating this image would have been to maximize DoF using a smaller aperture or shorter focal length setting.

Gorgeous Morning

I'm happy with the image but I do wish I had made alternate exposures with greater DoF to compare side by side.
