Our Assignment for Week 9 looks at using Depth of Field (DOF) as an artistic component of a photograph. For this week we will be looking at deep DOF (everything is in focus from foreground to background).

(Pictures for week 9 competition to be taken and posted between 20090830 and 20090906).

NOTE: We have two Seasonal competitions planned for the last two weeks of year two. You may take pictures for these anytime between 20090705 and the posting dates of 20100704 or 20100711. This way you can include your favorite holiday or season whenever it occurs during the year.

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 52-2 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. 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.
6. The picture you post should be taken during the week in which the theme is
active to be eligible for judging.
7. Any picture taken from 20090705 to listed closing date is acceptable for the
two “Seasonal” competitions – Projects 52-2-51 & 52.

Just got back from a cruise to maritime Canada. You all have certainly been busy in my absence. Great shots for this week's project.

I missed the reply period when this thread was active. But I took this during the week this thread was current while on a cruise in the Baltic, docked @ St. Petersburg; please pardon the tardiness. Based on Google maps, the main subject of the cooling and exhaust stacks are about 5 miles away... ferry about 1 mile away.... and you'll note on the horizon in the lower right some more towers and exhaust stacks way off in the distance. I didn't measure those, but I thinking it's a lot further away... A pretty deep field...
