MONTHLY PHOTO ASSIGNMENT
Each month, we assign a photo project to our members to get us thinking out of the box and challenge our photographic skills. This month, the assignment is Depth of Field. Here are the rules:
Take and submit your best photo exhibiting depth of field in a unique way. DoF is affected by the focal length of your lens, aperture setting, and proximity to the subject. Post editing using programs like Photoshop is permitted. Submit your best photo to the ST Photo Society page on Flickr (the link is listed below).
Deadline: February 2, 2012
Here are some online resources that explain Depth of Field and some ideas on how to use DoF to get some unique shots:
We are working on some new programs for 2012 and will post the list as soon as it is complete.
