TASK 3 - Wide Depth of Field

This task was to show use of camera controls to obtain wide depth of field.   The day I shot this picture was sunny, and it was 25th September at 11.43 pm in Yoxall.  With my loaned Canon 450d camera and 18-200 mm lens I set out this to regularly spot in Yoxall that I know as I knew it would be an ideal depth of field shot as there is foreground and background in abundance.   The ISO was set to auto and 400 was selected; the shutter speed was 1/125, F16 aperture to obtain the greatest depth of field and the focal length was 72mm.   The bales of hay in black plastic and the house are all clearly seen in the background as well as the cows in the foreground.  There is a some shadow on the tan/white cow lying down, and its head is over exposed.
