Aperture Series @ 27mm: Icebergs in Dana Lake, view to Mt Dana
This series from f/4 to f/9 looks at sharpness across the field and near to far for the Fujifilm GF 20-35mm f/4 R WR on a finely detailed landscape scene. Also includes a 4-frame focus stack at f/9.
Normally, these icebergs would not be seen past late June at most. But here they are after an all-time-record snowfall in mid August 2023, with the lake as high as I have ever seen it, and exceeding all previous high water indicators.
