depth of field – Ruth E. Hendricks Photography

Henry the Airedale sat serenely while Maura jumped around outside for a few minutes. She shed her coat. I had on wool socks, wool sweater, down vest and wool hat. I could hear my mother in my head, warning me about pneumonia weather or catching a chill. Maura thought that the sun being out and her running around made it an early Spring. She kept her hat on her head. Then put her coat back on. Brrrr. My hands were cold when I got inside.

Henry just sat there, taking in the fresh cool air. No “sit” or “stay”command given.

And no, I did NOT knit her hat.

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.
