Weekly Informal Challenge number 101 is "Wide Open Spaces" (Thanks to Inga M. for this idea)
Use your lens WIDE OPEN (whatever the highest f-stop is, f/14, f/22, f/32...). We get accustomed to using fast and shallow apertures. Coming from a landscape photography background (and especially from film), the other end of the spectrum used to be more intriguing while trying to get greater depth of field in those images. Lets see what we can do using this photographic tool/rule.
HINTS:
1. You may need a good tripod of you use this in the "golden hours".
2. Remember this can also add to flare tendencies of the lens. (use or avoid)
3. The depth of field decreases as you approach the shortest focal distance allowed by your lens.
