Great Brook Farm

My get-pushed partner challenged me to try a landscape photo with a very narrow depth of field. My first reaction was, "That's the opposite of what a landscape photo wants." It turns out that it is very difficult to get a shallow DOF in a landscape photo. I took a bunch at f/3.5, a wide open as I can get my lens. It still looks like a normal landscape.
@stephomy Thanks for the challenge. This didn't turn out at all like I expected. I focused on the barn. Sure, the foreground focus is soft, but it isn't too dramatic. It was an interesting exercise.

It does take your attention to the barn first when you look at this shot. It takes a moment to notice the people by the water.
