(UPDATED 8/5/16): I chose this photo for a couple reasons. Firstly, this is one of my favorite depth of field shots. Secondly, it was able to provoke a thought of concern in my concern album. In fact, it created irony: a lone soda can facing the looming "No Dumping" sign. Even though there's no Rule of Thirds, the "No Dumping" sign is clear in detail and in center, making this the subject in attention. Sparking irony as a theme is one of the best things I like about this photo and is a good motivator as to why I chose this photo in the Final Project.
Irony, eh? A "No Dumping" sign stands triumphantly while the lone soda can stands defiantly in front of it, as if rebelling in a very serious tone. I chose this photo because I want the viewer to feel as if the sign is a demanding presence and warning to the soda can as a litter or "dump". Thus, the sign being clear while the can blurry just to give it the main attention. SS is 1/250 and F-Stop is F/4.5
In this photo, the aperture is 4.2, the shutter speed was 1/125, and the ISO was 1,800. This is a picture of a Snoopy ornament hanging on my tree, and it uses selective focus.
The way I controlled the depth of this photo reminds me of how Bob Ross paints his nature scenes, working from the background forward. Here, I chose to only focus on that nearest cluster of pink-colored flowers.
I took this picture from inside a coffee shop in San Francisco. I loved the humoristic effect that the juxtaposition of these 2 signs created. When I took the picture, the focus was going all the way from the foreground to the background and I knew that this picture, like all my pictures, will go through PhotoShop (PhotoShop, magical word!) The only difference between Background, middle ground and foreground was the over exposure of the middle ground. I color corrected the sign that was pinkish and gave it a whiter colder look. I also gave more body to the middle ground by darkening with the "level" tool and added a small but visible "radial blur" to guide the viewer from the foreground to the background. I masked the "RITE AID" sign to protect it from the radial blur and emphasized the contrast to revive the red color to emphasize the "danger" or unhealthiness of the situation and/or message.
This tree was a mass of blossom. I think the narrow depth of field and blue sky background make this individual cluster of flowers stand out a little better.
I discovered that taking photos of bikers is challenging! This shot was my best attempt at blurring the background slightly to show movement and getting a decent composition.
A brief study in depth of field. Taken atop my uni's parking structure.
Also, an exercise in image compression with regards to noticable artifacts vs file size =P
I like this image, it shows a sense of depth from one side to the other. The oven also reflects the vibrant green in the garden, which gives the image more colour.
Taken with a standard lens and UV filter.

This is an example of a flower taken at my middle lens setting. The flower appears closer and more dramatic through its sharpness in contrast to the background.
Fstop=5.6
The grasses on the forward and back ground are blurry. The focus is on the middle. The houses and trees on the back ground are also blurry so you can tell the depth in this picture.
Æ’/5.3 at 1/500. I like this one because of the color contrast, the lights and shadows. The flowers were closer to the camera but I was able to focus on the flower bud and the buds only. Everything else was blurred.
I chose this picture because while taking this picture i was trying to focus on the rose in the middle, yet every rose was somewhat captured even the little white flowers.
