Challenge: Depth of Field

[Jonathan Long]

Here's one of the old challenges:

Use Depth of Field to enhance your photograph.

This could mean that you choose to use very limited depth of field to isolate your subject from the background.

It could also mean that you use extreme depth of field to make sure everything in the picture is in focus.

The rules of the challenge:

No archive shots. Even if you posted to this thread before the crash, go out and photograph something new!

The idead behind the challenges is to motivate photographers to go shoot new pictures that meet the criteria for the challenge. It's like you're a working professional photographer that has a client that needs a specific picture. You have to create an image for them to use.

Hey Jude -- the wind must have been a little quieter!! These are lovely!!!! We may go back when we come out in a few weeks......I'd love for Bert to see the flower fields, as well.......

Here is photo of extreme depth of field

BTW Dana..flower fields close in May, I suppose there is a limit time to when they are in full bloom

as to your comment, I do not recall the wind being a factor when Barb and I went, so must have been a calm day

two photos were taken last Monday on a road in the "High Desert" I had the aperture on F 16-22 with shutter speed about 20
The Coast was on Ocean Beach

I'm not sure I'm informed enough to know what you're talking about, but here's my try at it. Thursday when my friend and I were at the botanical gardens, I actually went up to a total stranger who had a fancy camera and asked him how to focus on something in the foreground and make everything else out of focus. I gave it a shot (pun intended) and was quite please with the result.
