Palm Frond - a photo on Flickriver

Palm Frond

            Went for a walk in the neighborhood today with the goal of getting a new image for Day 3 of the 365 project. It was a bright, sunny day and I found many subjects, but the yellowish fronds of the palm tree at eye level provided an opportunity to experiment with selective focus. At F4, the widest aperture of my new lens, the DOF is very narrow, and it was interesting to stand there and shift the focus along the spine of the palm frond as you can see below. 

I got some weird looks from a family nearby who probably couldn't figure out why that lady was standing in front of the tree with a camera....

After a bit of experimentation I decided that a narrower aperture, F14, was more effective.
