Depth of Field
This photograph is of a teddy bear that I own. For this image I really wanted to capture the soft color scheme of the teddy bear while portraying it in a new perspective. I took the image from the bottom of its foot, placing the emphasis here, while allowing the body of the bear to be blurry in the background. I think that it turned out to be pretty interesting looking, almost like the bear is standing on the camera. In addition to new perspective, I wanted to place the foot (the focus) of the bear in the lower right corner to make the composition more interesting. Though the foot of the bear is cut off at the bottom, I feel it does not take away from the photograph because it is balanced at the top by a slight cutting off of its ear. The depth of field is extremely shallow, with the teddy bears foot being the only thing in complete focus.
Nikon D70; Exposure 1/30 sec.; f/4.5; 18mm, ISO-200
