Rusted old lock

[kirbinster]

Saw this one this morning on a cable coming down a telephone pole:



Exposure: 0.04 sec (1/25)
Aperture: f/10
Focal Length: 200 mm
ISO Speed: 200

You might wonder about the slight blur at f/10 but note that I had my 55-200mm lens on the camera and I wanted just the lock. So I zoomed in all the way and got as close as the lens would allow for a focus. That is why it is only at 1/25th sec exposure, but with the VR I am fairly certain that the slight blur at the top is from the very narrow depth of field not motion blur.

Not bad!

Depth of field is good. I like the detail on the lock.

this reminds me of the kinds of shots i like--seeing something beautiful in something mundane. i like it!

I like the rusty old feel about the picture, I would probably sharpen in is bit bring out the roughness. Nice shot
