Project 2 - focus with a set aperture

image 3609 1/500 sec f3.5

image 3608 1/1000 sec f3.5

image 3607 1/600 sec f3.5

I chose a flint wall to photograph - it has depth and interesting texture. I used a set aperture of f3.5 to give a shallow depth of field

I like all 3 shots, but 3609, focussed on the furthest distance, is my favourite. My eye is led into the scene and you are left wondering what is at the end, obscured by the trees. Compare this with the first shot in the series (3607) where your eye tends to stay at the focussed part of the image and doesn't wander. The eye is drawn back to the large flint on the right hand side whisch is the object in sharp focus.
