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.

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.

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

Mark, I like how you are taking the bull by the horns in addressing the number of picture threads!
