Depth of field photos of Mia Serabian in Boston, MA, June 2012

f/3.5, ISO: 1250. I tried to focus on her feet and make the background look blurry, but again, I got the opposite of what I was aiming for. Please advise. I did figure this out on the first two that I posted, but I am not sure what happened with this one.

Created from this photo here on emb3r's PhotoStream without permission from the owner, so when they see it, they may want me to take it down... so enjoy it while it lasts...

Photo session with my daughter. Captured through the wildflowers. Lower aperture with higher speed.

Session 5: Photographing Detail Through Depth-of Field Management

Depth of Field

This is a replication of the 2nd picture in the shallow depth pictures. I crouched low to the ground and angled the camera up to get a better view of the plants and the people in the background. the people are blurred and the plants are the main subject we are seeing. (they had flowers at one point, but it got cold and they died:)
