50 With A 50 – Week 3

Here we are on Week 3. This week we had more snow and ice followed by warm ups and melts. I got out to take some photos and tried to take some people street photography type images and had one selected but when I finished processing the shots I preferred this one.

I find I’m using the 50mm for more close up photos than I expected,
There has been lots of snow and ice around to try to get close up details of. I like playing with the 1.8 aperture but sometimes (often? usually!) it’s not the best to go with such a narrow depth of field. For this image I changed from f1.8 to f6.3 and it was much better. Had to get in close which involved standing in a river, at lunch time, wondering how high up the waterproofing of my boots ended.
