ok, so im taking a photography class to fulfill an art credit. i need to take photos of landscapes while emphasizing minimum and maximum depth of field.

now, this class is pretty much a walk though for me, but im struggling with this particular project because, well, landscapes are not my, uhh, “specialty”

anyway, we’re supposed to have a set of 6 photos, 3 with min. depth of field and 3 with max. i have my 3 max ones already:

they’ve since been photoshopped and ive taken the spots and such out of them. but where can i go to get some good landscape pics emphasizing minimum depth of field?

if it’s where i’m thinking, that is a nice spot.

Try showing buffalo for what it is, and get some good shots of rundown warehouses.

edit - maybe deleware park on a clear dry day?
