Assignment #2... okay... I know it's late... but nobody's marking... so whatever

The second assignment was on learning aperture and how it affects focus.  So, the project is to have two pictures, first one with a narrow/shallow range of focus and another landscape picture with a wide / deep focus.

So here goes....

Shallow focus - I actually really like this effect because it draws attention to detail.

This one is of a group of statues in a fountain in Charlotte North Carolina.

And the one on the right is in the Grand Canyon in Arizona.  Not your typical picture of the Grand Canyon.

And for the landscape pictures, you'd think that there would be some spectacular ones of the Grand Canyon, however when we were there, they were doing controlled burns in the area so there is a smokey haze throughout the canyon.  It was still spectacular to behold.

Pictures just can't do it justice.... even landscape photographs with a wide angle wouldn't  capture the sheer magnitude of it.

There were, however, some amazing sunsets...

And the Arizona desert, is a land like no other.  It's like stepping onto the landscape of another planet.

So there you have it.... Assignment #2 in the bag!
