First Summer Weekend


Howdy
Hope this post finds everyone in great spirits on this first Saturday of Summer. I am sorry once more for my lack of posts, gotta get my brain in gear and do a post EVERYDAY no matter what.
I am invited to a summer solstice party today so I reckon I'll go for it.

Should be dragg'n my camera along for shots for posterity or whatever.

I am in negotiations for a photo gig with a new startup local magazine sounds like an interesting situation we'll see!........... I will keep ya all posted!!

Okay Dokie A photo tip, Let me see what is in the ol' cobweb laden brain pan today!!
Are you a tack sharp kinda person every detail in the image has to be sharp
or its not a great image, well I am kinda of the same way but have learned that selective focus for arts sake is always a great tool to make em' drool!

You do this by focusing carefully on the most important part of the scene/subject by opening the aperture up to it's widest aperture to minimize depth of field {longer lenses "my favorite all around workhorse is an 80-200 2.8" produce less depth of field, so therefore they work better for the effect} but use whatever lens you have and just be certain to have it open to it's widest aperture. An out of focus background is also a great way to disguise a funky junk filled background!

So there ya go folks
