Old Assignment 14 - Be creative with Depth Of Field

[elmo_2006]

Bob, that is one heck of a photo, nicely done!

Thanks elmo

I absolutely do not mean to be a pain in the butt, but I find the title a tittle of the thread a little confusing.


When I first read"Depth Of Field - the wider the better" I startedsearchingthe My Picture folderfor possible submissions which in my mindwere photographs with a wide depth of field, forexample landscapes with everything from foreground tobackground in focus. I found a few potential candidates and opened the assignment thread only to find that "the wider the better" part relates to the aperture!


As far as theactual topic, I think it is a great one and I am hopefully going to take a fresh photo, just for the assignment!

That's true. By his following description, I would think "The shallower, the better" would be a more accurate (or less confusing) title. :-)

Great picture Bob, but the aperture is f/11.


He said he wants a wide aperture, "open up those apertures"


Elmo, what do you mean by wide DOF?


I'm confused too!

Rich, Thanks. I read all of that as well, But Elmo ended his assignment with " Let's see that bokeh", So...... there is more than one way to achieve bokeh, even at F11. Hopefully I understood his assignment correctly.--If not, I am sure he will clarify []

I'm SOOOO confused! [:S]

I was looking thru my photos and I have some with great bokeh with my macro at f/8 and f/11 but figured it didn't qualify. I think I'll break out the 35mm this weekend!

Hmm, it seems the "circle of confusion" is growing. [:P]


But I'm going to assume (based upon Elmo's pic example) the contest is about a thin DOF.


Bob....great HB capture....I was going to enter one of my thin DOF HB pix, but now I'm reconsidering.


Elmo....the masses need some clarification; do you mean thin or forever DOF?


Good luck everybody

Absolutely agree Bob!


You see Bob.., I wanted this clarified, because I don't have anything that good! [:P]

I'll jump in: Since we can only submit once I hate being first but here goes: If I understand the assignment: Thin DoF, wide open aperture, not a typical pet, tree, or portrait:
