Macro.....not quite
A first for the year for me. I must admit I wasnt expecting to come across this guy hence the techs. The image was shot portrait and shows about 80% of the full frame.
I think it makes a good example of DOF and will be used to demonstrate the effect in my workshops.

Nikon D3
Nikon 200-400 +1.4TC shot at 500mm
800th sec
f9
400 iso

Best illustration of DoF you could ever wish for Tony :wavey:

A very handy image to have on file.........

a striking image and, as Andy says, a perfect illustration of shallow DOF. Nicely taken.

I like the shot Tony. Especially the portrait size in stead of landscape. Also the shallow DoF makes this a different pictures then most of them.Indeed a good exaple forr a workshop.
Good Luck.

I like the DOF as it holds you initially directly on the subject. The light however looks harsh, but I have no doubt that it was hence it's natural. Nice one...
