DOF

So, for this week's assignment we delved into the world of DOF! Or for those who do not understand the language of the photographer, Depth of Field. Here, we have two example of shallow and deep. This first one is my shallow depth of field submission in it's original state and then in greyscale, because that's the way I had to turn it in.

I used my piggy bank that my uncle Marty and Julie gave me about two years ago. They said "here, it's for your college fund!" [Just in case you were wondering, it's the ginormous pig in the background] The tiny little pink pig in the foreground is a plastic little pig that I found in a package that was sent to me recently. My brother sent me some movies and a little keychain for my phone. I think he might be trying to say something with this little guy...hmm?

This next one isn't my favorite, but it's an example of the deep depth of field. You have more in focus for a greater length rather than having just the one subject in focus and the background being blurry. But anyway, one reason I don't like this is because it's boring. It's take on campus and obviously I saw it as something cooler in my mind than what actually came out. :/ Oh well, here are the original and greyscaled pictures.

This picture here was a contender for the shallow depth of field submission, but alas, the pigs beat out the aztec sun...er...salt and pepper shakers. Many of you may recognize these little guys. They were made by my younger brother, Matthew, and they are the only other aztec sun salt and pepper shakers made like this besides the set back in California.

PS: just imagine it in black and white.

PPS: I'll upload some of the other contenders later.
