P52-3-7 Focus: Deep
Posted By: Rense, 09-10-2010, 02:03 AM

Week 3-7 of Project 52 will be the third and last one in which we will explore some
focus techniques. This weeks challenge is "Deep focus". That means that we will
try to shoot photos with everything in focus, from foreground to background. This
is a technique that is used very often in landscape photography, but I guess we
can find many other subjects suitable for this technique!

Just some backgrounds and some ideas:
Wiki - Deep focus
Eastenders - Deep focus cinematography
Dpchallenche - Deep DOF


Time Frame: pictures for week 4 are to be taken and posted between
20100911 and 20100919, so from September 11th - September 19th, 2010.

Rules:
1. Anyone and everyone who is interested in eligible. The goal continues to be
have fun and share comments, concepts, insights, and techniques with fellow
Pentaxians.
2. Each week will feature a Theme and Sub-concept for you to explore.
3. Post your single picture in Project 52-3 thread for the week. Explain what
motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly
theme.
4. Some post-processing is OK (adjusting white balance, exposure, color
saturation), but let's try to stay away from heavily PP'ed images here. Try to
keep the creativity to photographic techniques and the captures themselves.
5. Since this project is about technique, and not camera, shots taken by nonPentax
cameras are allowed
. Cameras can be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot and Medium Format.
6. There is one “Theme Concept” labeled “black and white,” but feel free to post
black and white, sepia, monotone, etc.
, for any of the other themes.
7. The picture you post should be taken during the week in which the theme is
active
to be eligible for judging.
8. Any picture taken from 20100731 to listed closing date is acceptable for the two
“Seasonal” competitions – Projects 52-3-51 & 52.

Have fun shooting!

Finally got one I felt fit the bill. I had to try out my new Vivitar 28/2.8 (Komine). Very vivid colors but I did find that it can suffer from flare (different angle had quite the hexagon).

I had a job to do at Texel, together with Rense.
So I could post a picture of the same area

But after some days Texel, I went to Vlieland, an much smaller Wadden Isle, with more salt marshes

I have been very busy, but I managed to produce a shot, albeit rather hastily.

If I am too late for entries, please advice and I will delete it.

Ok everybody. I'll try to get through the judging soon. Thanks for a lot of fine entries. As usual around here it's going to be difficult.
