Project1_8_Tebbe

The goal of this photo was to create with a shallow depth of field and to have the subject sharp and background out of focus. I achieved this by using an aperture of 4.0

 

Reading: duChemin, "Using the aesthetic possibilities of out-of-focus elements, we’re able to reduce sharp line and form to something less specific, something more abstract." I wanted to capture the bokeh of the lights behind this origami swan to add a feeling of magic to the image and guide the viewer's eyes while still keeping the swan the main subject.
