Messing with DOF

I love messing around with DOF and took the opportunity on this shot to show off. It looks like the sword is coming through a force field. All in camera no PS filters just my 50mm and diff focusing point.

 

[FunkyBuddha]

THe angle of the sword is not good. It also looks like it's got a dull edge etc. There really isn't a nice focus on it. Not as sharp anyways. It would've been better if you focused on the sword's tip not the flat part of the blade.

Question for those who shoot with Canon bodies: Under the user settings, what do the different options mean under "Picture Style?" It gives me the options of "Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful, and Monochrome." Any thoughts?

I'm sitting here now trying to take pictures of back-lit hummingbirds in my backyard and found the button with the setting, no idea what it does though...

Hope that helps.

Took some photos of a friend for a personal project of mine. Been ongoing for the last month or so. He's part of a dance group and these photos were supposed to represent what he was like before he joined or got into dance. The way he dressed, mannerisms, hobbies etc.

those picture styles are like presets for in camera processing. try all of them but take the same picture, u'll see the saturation, contrast, etc will all be a bit different

 

[sleeper3]

the picture styles only affect your photos if you're in JPG mode. If you're shooting in RAW, they don't do anything to your photos, but they do make the preview you see on the camera's LCD screen look different. They're handy if you're shooting an event, as they make SOOC images look a little better if you know what you're doing.

I don't think my camera even allows me to shoot raw in those modes.. they're all variants of "auto" aren't they?

 

[sleeper3]

They are not "modes." They are styles... You can adjust the sharpening, contrast, saturation and something else... I don't remember what. Anyway, if you shoot in RAW, don't worry about them.

I liked the DOF in this one. Experimenting with my new dSLR.
(cool)

 

[Wagonbacker9]

it'd be better if there was more in the pic than essentially negative space around the emblem... definitely gives the focal point effect though.

 

[sleeper3]

I disagree. I'd get rid of that line in the bottom left of the photo though.

Thats CWP... I'd like to see the flake where its in focus... it'd make it pop.

It was a cloudy day. 89'F 65% humidity cloudy day.

Here's another one I took at the same time. Not quite as good IMO.

Really makes my rattle can paint job look bad...
