Challenge: Deep DOF (Advanced Editing II)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Location: Looking down my barn aisle in Big Flats, N.Y.
Date: Jun 4, 2004
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 1600
Shutter: 1/80
Galleries: Interior, Animals
Date Uploaded: Jun 5, 2004

 I took several photos in the barn on Friday, the 4th of June in the morning before chores, hoping to get some possibilities for the "Depth of Field" challenge. The barn aisle is 200 foot long. There were no lights on, other than the sunlight coming through the skypanels and door panels.

I chose this photo as it captured a horse's expression nicely, and still caught lots of detail of the barn, down the full aisle right down to the translucent door which lets in bright light. The tack trunks and various items along the aisle offered so many different colors, that it was thought to be distracting, so I changed the photo to B&W to bring the eye's attention back to the length of the aisle. I'll look forward to the helpful critique.

Love the look on the horse's face! I'd love to see this in color. I think it needs more contrast to be really effective in B&W.

Flash lighting is very bright and washes out many details.

Needs a bit more contrast and a lot less clutter.

Interesting subject, but the image has some problems with too little contrast, generally poor light, and the interesting part of the subject is at the extreme right, with not much else to attract my eye

Nice concept. It is however, a bit overexposed and tilted. The tilt is easy to fix in PS. Message me after the challenge if you need help with this issue. The overexposure looks to be due to on board flash. Not using flash and using a tripod would help with this...
