Mary Kutch- blackberries


After going through the full range of aperture and ISO settings on a pile of driftwood, I turned to pack up and leave and noticed these above my head. The colors were much more interesting than the driftwood, especially with the bright afternoon sun filtering through the changing leaves. The aperture was at f/5.6(my lowest) to blur the background and create the impressionistic look. The ISO was high at 1600 due to the bright ambient light, and the histogram is spread across the entire graph, although no high peaks (not high contrast.) I like the colors, but would get closer to the berries to capture more detail and let them take up more of the frame. Focal length: 55mm, Nikon D3000 at Burfoot County Park.
