For some time now, I have wanted to bring a camera to this park in the morning since it is the only time the sun is usable. This file is about mid-morning, around 10:00 EST. In part I am posting this to celebrate the fact that I woke up in time to get this done. . . .
This file was part of my lens test series (all with fully open aperture) using my Magnicon 28-135mm 3.9-5.6 zoom (adapted K-mount) on my Sony a5000. Exposure is -0.7. Unfortunately, I did not record the used focal lengths.
Since the camera is APS-C, if I took this at 100mm, then the field of view would be equivalent to 150mm. I think this looks sort of about 100mm (real). I'll guess that this is about F5.0 aperture.
The depth of field let me down. The ISO is 200 and exposure time 1/1250 sec. I focussed on the far bank on the left of the picture hoping that the depth of field would carry upstream enough to cover the picture. The near branches on the left were deliberately included and intended to be out of focus. I think that on the one hand, I could have focussed a bit further away, but really, a better picture would probably be around F11. Exposure would have been about 1/300th sec which would have been plenty for stopping the river. I used "focus peaking" to assist, but I think at some point I might just stick with the magnification with no "focus peaking". It seems to get in my way instead of helping.
This image is from the ARAW and a bit re-tooled using Corel Paintshop Pro X9 "Smartfix", which has done a good job preserving the clouds and the moon, but brightening it overall.
