5D Gallery: Depth of Field

view profile

Todd Klassy  Pro User  says:

5D Gallery: Depth of Field.

This is the continuation of the new feature we began last week here in the Canon EOS 5D Group. Every Friday (or so) we will ask you to show off some of your best work. Every week we will ask group members to help showcase photographs of a different topic. Feel free to add (or subtract) images from each of the 5D Gallery threads as you see fit. It will be a chance to show what the 5D really can do.

This week we are asking you to provide examples of depth of field. Let's see some of your best work with the Canon EOS 5D revealing this photographic technique. If you have one or two examples of depth of field taken with your 5D, please show them here!

Let's have some fun!

PLEASE NOTE: To maintain a neat and orderly thread, please to limit the size of your photographs to 500 pixels wide.

62Lofu  Pro User  says:

A perfect combination for DOF shooting is the 5D with the superb Canon 24/1.4L - where depth of field can get very shallow indeed.

This combination yielded the following unusual perspective - it's the screw that holds the nose-cone onto an FA/18 Super Hornet, recently seen aboard the USS Ronald Reagan.

The World's Most Dangerous Screw

And to compliment the nose shot above - here's a tail shot with the same lens...

The Contented Tail.

I like this one because the DOF blurs both the foreground and the background. Without a limited DOF, the subject would be completely lost.
