I usually have my focus on the close subject, with the distance out of focus, but occasionally I change that around, and focus on the distance. I may play around with that today, but for now here are some oldies:

Thanks to Jude for getting us talking about DOF
Great examples of why we play with depth of field, Sue
Thanks, Debbie….got me thinking I need to do more….
I like this affect
Thanks, Pauline!
You are all giving excellent examples of how to use Aperure/DOF. This should be very useful to new photographers.
Best wishes, Pete.
Hopefully!
Lovely examples Sue. I do this sometimes too.

You’re a wizard! I’d say witch but that doesn’t have the same connotations. 🙂 🙂 Love the tombs shot. Been there too but my photos were rubbish.
Those Lycian tombs were a sight to see!
