This forced perspective gives you no choice but to think differently about the location. This is what I did one changeable afternoon this summer. I stuck on my 55-200mm telephoto, and forced myself to use nothing else for the day. Being out in the beautiful Cavan countryside I would normally be shooting wide angle landscape shots. But, being confined to the telephoto I had to think smaller. That was when I noticed the water drops from a recent shower pooling on a cabbage leaf, and grabbed this shot.<\/p>\n<p>I use this shot as one of the 20 or so that I have automatically rotating every 30 minutes as my desktop wallpaper. Each time it comes round in the rotation it brings a smile to my face. Normally I don&#8217;t share images bigger than 1000 pixels, but in this case I&#8217;m also sharing two larger versions designed to be used as desktop wallpapers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bartbusschots.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/3902078338_8c461dda4a_o.jpg\" alt=\"Cabbage Leaf\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" width=\"450\" height=\"301\" \/><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bbusschots\/3902078338\/\" target=\"_blank\">on Flickr<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bbusschots\/3902078338\/sizes\/o\/\" target=\"_blank\">Full-Size<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bbusschots\/3907414035\/sizes\/o\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wallpaper (4:3)<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bbusschots\/3907414999\/sizes\/o\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wallpaper (16:10)<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Camera:<\/strong> Nikon D40<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lens:<\/strong> Nikon DX AFS 55-200mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exposure:<\/strong> 1\/500 sec<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focal Length:<\/strong> 200mm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Focal Ratio:<\/strong> <em>f<\/em>\/5.6<\/li>\n<li><strong>ISO:<\/strong> 800<\/li>\n<li><strong>Camera Mode:<\/strong> Aperture Priority<\/li>\n<li><strong>Processing:<\/strong> Apart from the basics edits in Aperture (exposure, white balance, detail &#038; vibrancy), the shot was also tweaked a little using Aperture&#8217;s Dodge &#038; Burn plugin to give it more of a sense of depth to draw the eye in better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you find yourself getting bored of shooting in the sample place, a great way to get out of a rut is to force yourself to use just one lens all day.
