I headed to Salford in bright sunshine to practice using aperture to control the depth of field. Bright sun is one of my least favourite lights to work in - I find the contrasts very hard to balance. I took a circular polarizing filter and wanted to become more familiar with using this.
ISO 100 - 35mm, 1/50, f18
I had a shot of the city in mind but realized that I needed a much longer lens to have a hope of getting it, along with very different light.
55mm, 1/50, f18
55mm, 1/50, f18
Something else I'm not too familiar with is using a tripod. Mine is heavy, and can be fiddly to set up. It is a different way of working but one I want to try. I used it for these shots, but found it hard to get the view I wanted.
50mm, 1/50, f18
I used the polarizing filter to see if it would improved the contrast...
In the end this was probably my best shot. I adjusted the exposure to compensate for the filter and the stopped down aperture helped to give the long depth of field.
55mm, 1/8, f22
