This week our theme for the Bloom Forum Project 52 is “Depth of Field, Focus, Bokeh”
For any of you non-photographer jargonized people out there following this, Depth of field refers to the amount of things that are in focus in a photograph. That picture with the “blurry background”… thats bokeh. The trick is to get all the things you want in focus but keeping everything else out of focus. You can achieve this by shooting in Manual mode and controlling the settings on your camera.
This week I am submitting a photograph I shot during a spring session I did for a friend. So far he is the only “client” I have. He allows me to give my kids a break from the camera and still practice so its a win-win situation! He was getting pretty outdone by the time this one was taken… and I was trying to play with him a bit and hid behind a porch column. It actually ended up being one of my favorites!
Hope you all enjoy!
