Focus on decay

David says ‘show us your focussed or unfocussed moments’, In fact he says show your favourites. This isn’t a favourite, but it’s a recent photo that I took with several of my decay and abstract loving friends in mind.

The texture seemed to lend itself to playing, I hope you like the results, is there one you really like or dislike?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Focus

Posted on Posted in Nature, PhotographyTagged , , , , , , 28 Comments

Cheri Lucas Rowlands tells us about the basics of depth of field and aperture and compares the effects of using a shallow depth of field to a a greater one. She asks that we :-

  • Snap a photo of something or someone in focus, against a blurred background.
  • Share a panorama or landscape in sharp focus, in which you can see details far away.
  • Use a camera app to force focus (or blur) in an experimental way.
  • Take multiple photos of the same scene or subject using different aperture settings and publishing the results.

Do you agree that my first photo is rather dull, whereas the second is okay?
