Default The trouble with Depth of field....

Is shooting and testing things in a field that is occupied......well





Oi you what you doing in our field ...
Now I gonna get in your face till you leave ....



Oh well the moon was bright enough... sadly my zoom was not quite up to it so I framed it naturally ... (scuse the shake I was shattered from the walk and puffing like a fish outta water!!)



*some of this story maybe frabricated to get the pics in order o.0 )

Thank you Hayward

I just wish more of the colur from the sunset had shown through on the first one. the second I shaprened up in Serif the moon was just a lucky one as the thicket was dense and only a glimpse showed through in this shot. just enough to get a shot in now I have a tripod I can reduce the shake a bit lol
