View From a Window

I was at the Maryland Science Center with my daughter-in-law and one of my granddaughters yesterday. This was the view that we could see from every floor. Every time I'm there I'm drawn to that window.

Anita, I tried to look at the EXIF info for this image ... it ain't there.
I was wondering about your settings ... everything looks sharp from the window frame right out to infinity. If you used a P&S that could be the explanation. Otherwise, what kind of lens were you using and what were your settings?

Rusty, I was using my trusty 24 - 105 (Canon). Aperture priority, f/8, 1/1000 sec., ISO 800, focal length 24.
Here's another one taken looking out the window. This was taken at ISO 2500(forgot to change settings since I was taking photos in the museum). 1/3200 sec., f/8. focal length 82mm.

Thanks, Anita

Hmmmmm, f/8 is my usual setting of choice. I wouldn't have expected the range of depth-of-field you achieved in that shot ... even at 24mm. Live and learn.

Anyway, it's really a good one.
