I can't believe I forgot about this (but so did everyone else!), I was so intent on trying to get mod 5 finished.

This is Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire.



I spent a lovely Saturday afternoon there talking to loads of people I'd never met before about what I was up to, while I was waiting for some blue sky. For this photo I was using my 11-18mm Tamron lens (16mm at f8, 1/1250 and ISO 200) trying to get the flowers in focus and the hall towers as well. Through the view finder it looked OK but as you can see the lens hasn't quite managed it - the towers aren't sharpe. One lady with a compact was very interested about the course so we might get a new recruit sometime! Lisa.

Lovely image Lisa. Plenty of foreground interest and colour. You mention an issue with depth of field, just out of interest, did you calculate the hyperfocal distance or use the 'third in' rule?
