The Shallow End of the Pool

[MarkBarbieri]

This is a thread for people to post shots taken with shallow or selective DOF. It's the place to show us your wide aperture shots, your lens baby shots, or maybe even your tilt/shift shots. It's for shots with significant parts of the picture out of focus. Let's see why you have those fast primes or those frightfully expensive fast zooms.

Hey Jeff did you go camping at the Beach Club resort??

We only camped there for about an hour waiting for a table at Beaches and Cream- the rest of the time we camped at Fort Wilderness. ;)

Not as shallow as the other pics shown.

It's for shots with significant parts of the picture out of focus.

Finally, a thread made just for me. Most of my shots have a significant part out of focus, unfortunately, its usually the main subject.

Thanks guys...wildlife is something I shoot often, especially birds - probably about as much as Disney! ;) One of the things I love about living down here in S Fla. Birds in flight are a particular favorite of mine, so I'll shoot them whenever I get the opportunity.

My oh my I've been away from the DIS for FAR too long. I can't believe I didn't see this thread earlier. I shoot wide open (or close to it) far too often, so I probably have a billion shots to add here. For now, here are a few that are easy to locate since it's getting late and I'm lazy. :rotfl:

Susan, can you please post this on FB so I can "like" it like 10 million times? :lovestruc This shot rocks. It probably sounds weird, but this picture looks like what I feel when I first enter the Magic Kingdom. It's dreamy. It makes me SO want to head to WDW on an impromptu weekend trip right now.
