This week’s hike was at the North Trail. Linda, Janet, Nancy, and I hiked the North Trail to the Chuparosa and then out on Pemberton for a ways before returning. Amy lead Richard, Lynn, and Deb on a hike of the North Trail.
I forgot to check the aperture of my camera; when I got home I noticed that I had it set at f/1.8 for the wide angle focal length. For the shots where I zoomed in a bit, the aperture was somewhat smaller, but still not small enough to get a decent depth of field. As a consequence, this week’s photos are not as sharp as usual.
I thought it cool that I was able to get the moon in this photo:
I think the shallow depth of field in this photo helps to isolate the two saguaros in the foregound. This one ended up being f/3.2 at 1/2000 sec, ISO 125.
We saw these two equestrians riding in on the 150th Street access trail as we were headed back on the Pemberton:
