Detail

Farm on Fruit Road
Photograph by Tom Atwood
Even something ordinary can be made interesting, especially if the photograph has enough detail. This barn on a foggy morning is helped by the close view of the old fence that surrounds it. The camera dwells on the fence's details: the protruding, rusted nails; the faded white paint, chipped and peeling; even tiny spots of dust are visible, blown onto the fence by farm equipment passing by on Fruit Road. Okay, that's just a guess. I admit it. Exposure: 8 seconds; Aperture: f/20; ISO: 100; Focal length: 18 mm
