Playing with shallow Depth of Field, in a furrowed field, that was shallow, with deep grooves, in Dorset. A play on a play on a play on words. In pictures. So to speak.

This is a good example of depth because it is a straight pathway leading to something.

This photo is an example of a movement picture and I chose it because I can't fully determine which car it is due to the fast speed the car is going.

Shutter speed:1/4

f-stop:13

Here is an example of shallow depth of field where the front book and the two in the back are out of focus and middle book is in focus.

The effect of the depth of field being demonstrated...

More from the Queen Victoria Building.

I took many shots of this (slightly) animated, mainly one-sided conversation. Here are three.

yup, a dead bird

In this shot I tried to 'create' depth with these 3 tiny bear figurines.

I was trying to get a shot of an insect when I noticed how the camera was focussing into the centre of this plant. The effect is striking if you look at the large version of the pic.

f/4.0, shutter speed 1/500.

I was able to focus on the coffee cup and the shadow looks nice from the reflection of the sun. The blurry background shows my city typical San Francisco.

An extended family member aiming down his sight. I wanted my buddy to be the main point. I wanted to show that I was hiding behind a object to look as if I was spying.

S: 1/80

F: 5.6

f-stop: f6.3

shutter speed: 1/60

My last photo shows a combination of depth and shutter speed. The lense is focused on the fountain and farther water spray, blurring out the spray closer to the camera. As for motion, the fountain spurts out a stream of water at a consistent, fast pace; at a shutter speed of 1/60, you can almost feel the flow of water coming out of the fountain.

A descriptive title as opposed to imaginative ....

I've always been drawn to this sort of, er, tree (help me out folks) because of the colour, shape and texture.

Large depth of field along with the longer focal length squish everything here into flatness. There is very little sense of space looking at this even though the trees, houses, and sign are far from each other.

While motion appears easier to capture than depth, there were some lighting issues. F-stop was automatic. I liked how the moving car was a big blur and the car stopped was clear and still. This clearly explained the shutter speed/movement technique. f32 & s1/5.
