In this photo, using my Maxxum 7D DSLR, I focused on the young woman and slightly de-focused on the gentleman by choosing a more open f-stop on my 50mm Minolta lens. I used f 3.5. This technique is called selective focus. Use this to emphasize the main or important part of the image. Otherwise visual competition diminishes the interest of the image. Enjoy, Jeff
MORNING LIGHT IMAGES Selected photographs of Jeff Perkins. I'm both a physician and serious photographer. Accomplishments: Permanent Exhibit at The Albany International Airport entitled "Arrival", located at the Security Entrance. This is a 3 panel 18 foot long panorama of stitched images reflecting our feelings of safe journey after 9-11. Exhibits at The Soho Gallery in NYC and The Photo Center of Troy, NY Enjoy. Jeff
