I normally shoot landscape at f16-22, but being in a kayak with windy conditions that was not possible. I shot most of the scenes in this wetlands spot wide open (f2.8-ish) with ISO at 3200+. I shot this particular scene with the center focus very soft, but sharper outside the center. In post-processing I darkened and softened the center even more to add some depth in an otherwise flat looking swamp scene.
