Figure 1 – True picket fence near “Burying Place,” Salem, MA. (c) DE Wolf 2019.

When it comes to picket fences, we tend to have the classic version in mind. This brings to memory Huckleberry Finn and the whole issue of painting said fence. But before that there were truer to form versions like the one of Figure 1. This is an image that I took in Salem, MA near “Burying Place.” This is the original town cemetery first opened, no deposit no returns, in 1637. For the standard DSLR such an image would present a focus challenge. But to the iPhone ten, with its incredible depth of field, absolutely no problem.
