The last (de)fence

I was initially surprised at how large a dof was needed to still give the detail I wanted. When I first did this at f/2.8 and f/4 I lost the ship entirely whereas I wanted the flag to be blurry but identifyable

The same thing but 'reversed'

I like the first one more. It creates a real feel. The second just looks like there was something unfortunate in the way of the shot BTW Do you need bail money, or don't they grant bail to terrorists? :D :D :D

Looks like the USS Boxer is ‘boxed in’ - that razor wire needs replacing :)

Much prefer the first shot, I like the wire and flag in the background blowing around.

I think you may find that it doesn't - a rusted blade, as it were, can be quite effective. :twisted:
