Is this an example of Depth of Field or The Depth of Time. Found this railings in the Alipore Zoo which was found back in 1876. Perhaps these railings have survived since then.
Thanks In Advance for not Inviting me to any Group and Attaching Graphics to this picture as a part of your comments. I appreciate your comments and Favs if you like it.
Eagerly waiting for comments from all my flickr friends. Keeping my finger crossed to accept all the criticism as I felt this is a daring attempt to demonstrate the example of DoF.
I'm off ill at the moment and noone was around to play scrabble with so I found a way of playing scrabble by myself :-)
A hike in the dark is such a normal way to start the day when immersed in landscape photography. This one involved hiking up a steep and rough track, over a ridge line to another glacial valley in the alpine highlands of northwest Tasmania ( that's bottom of the world, turn right). Hunt for a spot, scouted out the day before, and then sit in sweet silence and solitude, as dawn arrives, with it's magical gift of light.

" It is in the land, I once thought, that one searches out and eventually finds what is beautiful. And an edge of this deep and rarified beauty is the acceptance of complex paradox and the forgiveness of others. It means you will not die alone."

Autumn Fading Forest
It was autumn in this German forest and the fog already beginning to thin out. As it thinned, the fog appeared to recede deeper into the trees away from me. What my imagination created when viewing this scene was not at all like what I was truly seeing. To give the forest setting a fantasy look and a fading sense of depth, I used two images which I later blend together in processing. On one, I applied a path blur filter and removed the foreground trees. It would serve as the background elements. The second was taken sharply focused on the foreground trees and leaves with a shallow DOF. Then, in processing, I removed the background trees. When blended the result was close to what my imagination had first created.
Borth, Ceredigion, Wales, UK - my tripod snapped just before I took this picture so I had to carefully balance the broken leg and hope that my camera did not fall!
A short wander up the road enabled this shot of the Carlisle to Chirk logs to be taken at Appleside, 60085 providing the oomph.
This is a picture of a weathered wooden board. It was taken at a very flatt angle with a 100mm macro lens at close distance and wide open.
Canon EF 2,8/100 L Macro IS + MC-11
This image is probably one of the most personal, and visually meaningful, images I've ever posted.
A perfect storm of stress, depression, illness and a severe lack of sleep over a period of several weeks culminated in putting my head into one of the scariest places it's ever been in, and appropriately enough whilst on a 3 day holiday sabbatical in the mountains of Snowdonia last week. They were 3 days I hope I never have to experience the like of which again. The sense of isolation, of disjointedness from the world around me, of not even being sure who I was anymore was emotionally and mentally excruciating. The nights were the worst, unable to sleep I experienced the full depth of myself while at the same time feeling so terrifyingly distant from everything in existence. Identity and reality fractured, insanity beckoned…
Strangely enough, as much as it scared me, it was finding my depth that was my saviour, that and the love of a woman who reached down into my personal hell, gently pulled me out and helped me see the light again, inner and outer. If she hadn't been there to listen to my ramblings, my fears, and to comfort me in the darkest moments, I dread to think what the consequences for my mental health would have been.
I've thought long and hard about revealing such a personal experience here on flickr, but ultimately I'm willingly to do so if it helps just one person going through something similar to take a risk and reach out and talk to someone they trust implicitly, and maybe you who read this with a sound mind could extend a hand to someone who you know is going through their own personal hell and be the spar they cling onto in their storm tossed ocean, and slowly but surely carry them back to the safety of the shore. Don't worry, you don't have to come up with answers to their issues, it's enough to lend an ear to their fears. I tried to deal it with by myself but badly crashed and burned. I kept quiet because of pride, fear and the belief that no one could help me. They can. Find that person you trust, and talk, talk like there's no tomorrow, don't leave it until you're hanging on by your fingernails like I did.
The most difficult photo is now done ! Now I only have to walk in the streets with my printed photo to approach people.
I met Cédric because I liked his style, and his light blue eyes.
Cédric is out of work. He is searching for something in nautism (canoe if I remember well).
I was satisfied by this photo, but I had to do a specific post-treatment on the embebbed frame: as I had focus on the framing, I forgot to look at the reflection on the embebbed frame itself…
It’s something I have to think about for the next photo.
By the way, I did not care about the colours, and I was surprised afterward to see that Sarah and Cédric wear similar color ! The result is quite interesting ! :)
Thank you Cédric !

Massacre Cave Overlook, Canyon de Chelly National Monument
Canyon de Chelly was another favorite spot of mine out of the many places I visited during my Four Corners trip. The sheer depth of the canyon itself harbored much breathtaking landscape. And the rich history of both ancient Puebloans and modern Native Americans was a complex symphony.
I belive, that everybody knows this catchy melody and beautiful song presented by Frank Sinatra.
