Fun with DOF

Crisp minimalism in the Solomons...

Took more than a single shot to get it just right...

I love the lighting, as well as the focus, in Rand's shots -- and the bizarreness and high-contrast pattern combined with limited DOF in Matts. Really gets me thinking.

I am not in the same league, but I am going to play anyway. I'm just beginning to shoot macro underwater (soon to add the 105), but I like this little fellow that I already posted:

And, okay, above water ... but the spider and web are, I think, nice examples of what I'd like to do with this DOF thing.

Cheers,

Chris

Nice examples everyone, Matt i love how you got so much detail on the face of the pipefish, Chris for a self proclaimed beginner you have some fantastic examples, i love how the back ground is blurred out on the Damsel, and the spider is a beauty.

My contribution.... from my analogic times

F-100, Nikon 105mm and .... honestly, I don't remember the settings.

Cheers
