Weekly Photo Challenge: Focus

Demonstrate the concept of FOCUS in a new post.  Focus. Out of focus. Chain link fence should be this week’s challenge for me.

Focus is an ongoing challenge not limited to this week.

I often shoot through a chain link fence.

Living in the city there’ a lot of it.

Sometimes the fence is in focus and sometimes it’s the  blurred fence and the focus on what I see behind the fence.  What I was going for in the first place.

A continuous study of depth of field.   I am constantly telling my students to develop a photographic practice so one can improve.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just look at the sharp focus on the garbage, the fence is almost invisible.  Why do I always try to shoot something with a barrier between?  And why am I attracted to trash?  Mmmmm.

 

 

 

Closer object/ street light is in sharp focus……….ooops, no chain link fence in this one.

 

 

 

 

Through iron bars, does nicely, too.

Can’t see those cookbooks in the display for the window frame either.

 

Shadyside, after weekend.  Howe Street.

 

Thought this one went nicely with the series even though it would have been impossible to get a sharp focus of the reflection of the building.
