This bird house has served many seasons. It has been the home to generations of blue birds.
This is one of my earlier photos in 4x5 format. When I shot it, I discovered the shallow depth of field of the 163 mm lens. The beginner will find out, as I did, that when using Large Format, DOF is a key factor. While I expected the distant background to be out of focus, the upper most branch is no more that four feet behind the bird house.
Though it was not an issue with this particulate photo, I thought I would give a heads-up to those starting out with longer lenses.
