Fun with aperture settings

I've been working on my technical photography skills lately, so here's a little demonstration of the difference between f-stops. The first had an f-stop of 2.8, and the second one, 14. Note the difference in depth of field, how in the first picture it goes from unfocused to focused to unfocused in the length of a barb on wire, and in the second the whole barb is relatively sharp, and the flowers in back are actually almost recognizable.

Flowers

Colour/B&W pairs

As I've said, I'm working more on my technical skills; with this post, trying to focus on using greyscale value and not just colour, even when photographing something as colourful as Dutch flowers. Here are some pictures of the same things, taken in both colour and B&W. As with the previous pictures, these were all shot in the form in which they appear, either colour or greyscale, so you'll notice slight differences between them.

Trees

The first of the Europe pictures! A street in Beekbergen, the Netherlands. Many more pictures from here will come when I get an internet connection that uploads more than two photos an hour.
