Sean, I didn't kill the old thread to allow people to follow why there is a new one. I did lock it though.

Canon T1i + Sony M3358 closeup filter + Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS, @ 300mm, f/29, 1/160, Flash - Manual exposure and focus.
Flash used as my tripod is too wobbly.

Re: -NEW- Assignment 14: Be creative with Depth Of Field
This little guy climbed up on my porch where it was the perfect excuse to break out the new 100mm IS macro lens. I bought this lens to get more into product photography but the little critter macro stuff is fun every now and then. I wanted to get as much of this little guy in the frame so I was inches away. Being this close limited my DOF plus I was hand holding the camera where F/11 was about as high as I could get and stay below ISO 1600.

Re: -NEW- Assignment 14: Be creative with Depth Of Field
Does that make for a crummy entry since I put it up before? I was thinking maybe no one saw it. My posts don't seem to draw a lot of attention.

No, Not at all. And I avoid putting up the same pic more than once also; but sometimes you have those pics that just seem to work in multiple threads---The frog is a solid submission.

Re: -NEW- Assignment 14: Be creative with Depth Of Field
I like the frog Bryan, and I liked it when you posted it previously. You say you wanted to fill the frame and I'd say you did a damn fine job at that! Very nicely framed.
A while back now I had a very calm cicada who sat nicely for some portraits. I didn't try for or get much DOF, but that's good for this post.
Canon D60, 100mm f/2.8 macro (original, not USM), f/5, 1/250s, ISO-400, manually focussed. From memory this was on a tripod.

I had a few beers so I decided to take a close up pic of one. The curve of the bottle was enough to soften letters either side of the right side of the M in Miller. The 5 of 6 beers was enough to soften all of my thought processes.

Re: -NEW- Assignment 14: Be creative with Depth Of Field
I know I have better, but here is one that is interesting since you never really see pictures like this. This guy was trying to have a snack on my arm. He got smushed, but was stuck on for the ride. Just happened to have my camera with the macro lens handy. I believe I was at f2.8 with my 100mm Macro. Enjoy. (sorry I have hairy arms...hopefully that doesn't gross anyone out)[:$]

I can imagine it wasn't that easy at all to take this shots! also, it doesn't look like this little guy got it's food though because the skin looks pretty rough and thick under the macro lens, just kidding![:D]

Re: -NEW- Assignment 14: Be creative with Depth Of Field
This is a more creative entry then my last because I planned the shallow DOF. I thought it would make for a more compelling image drawing interest to the pitcher as she exerts the power to throw the ball but tell the whole story. Shot with the 40D and the 70-200 lens. Selective focus

Could you kindly put in the EXIF info.....thanks.

Re: -NEW- Assignment 14: Be creative with Depth Of Field
Had to go dig this info up. Just downloaded it from flickr as it was faster then tracking it down on one of the external hard drives. I always save my images for the web when posting them where most of the important EXIF data is deleted.

Re: -NEW- Assignment 14: Be creative with Depth Of Field
Here is just one of my favorites I captured earlier this summer. I just got focused on the kitten, and just as I pressed the shutter button I could see it turn its head. Thinking it would be a blurred shot of the kitten turning its head, instead this is what I ended up with.
