A very small aperture has been used in this photo to show the difference between a higher one. In this picture there is no depth of field effect(caused by a wide aperture ex: f/4.5), everything looks sharp. Using my camera in AV mode (Aperture Value) to quickly change it, I have also used my tripod, because with a very small aperture you will need to compensate with the shutter speed or ISO. In my case this picture took 8 seconds, therefore making it impossible handheld.
Sharp shinned hawk chest with wings folded.
*Disclaimer: since people will likely wonder how I obtained this hawk, it died by hitting a window on my aunt's house. It was chasing a robin at the time and both birds hit and died. Fish & Game instructed us to bury the animal, as it is illegal to possess all manner of deceased birds in Alaska. Before I buried the hawk, though, I took these scans of it - I didn't want its beauty to go to waste.
My husband has started work with a new company, after being home this winter. The weather was so terrible this year, that I was glad that he wasn't driving, this was one of the worst winter's that I can remember. I thought that you might like to see the new truck, it's so different looking from the last one! I found it interesting that a black truck is so hard to photograph, it picks up reflections much more then that white one did. It looks blue to me, in this shot, the blue sky and other reflections really show up! If you look close, there is a tiny reflection of me in that rear view mirror : )
I plan to travel with him when the weather is a bit better. It still storming out there, today he went through a major thunderstorm with tornado warnings. I sure hope it settles down soon. (Still snow and flooding up north too...)
He's happy to be back on the road though, and really enjoying this new company. For those of you are new to my photography (or just curious) you might want to see some of my images from the road over the last few years.)

Trucking is such an important job, everyone counts on everything being delivered by truck.... remember...If you got it, a truck brought it!
