The Built Environment - aperture and depth of field - Manchester

When I went to Manchester I decided to avoid preconceived ideas of what would work and just wandered about.

With foreground interest, the depth of field creates real contrasts in focus.
ISO 100, 1/1250, f2.8

 When subjects are more distant the differences can be very subtle.
This is the shot I like:
55mm, 1/100, f10











The same shot with the focus on the red brick building - the contrast is not obvious.
55mm, 1/1000, 2.8

 Another two shots that show very subtle differences, and not quite what I expected. 

ISO 100, 55mm, 1/2500, f2.8

 ISO 100, 55mm, 1/640, f7.1, and this shot with the tripod.

 55mm, 1/1000, f2.8
There is a lot happening in cities. I find the hard thing knowing what to leave out rather than what to include.
