Thanks!

this is photo-shopped, no lens has such razor sharp transitions from off to on focus - no?

Very nice selective focus indeed.
Congrats on DCist POTD!

Saw your pic on DCist. Good job!
Mr. T in DC (46 months ago | reply)
@andwhatnow: Nope, not Photoshopped beyond a minor levels adjustment and sharpening. Lens used was the excellent Sigma 30mm f/1.4. Actually, my preference would have been to have just one of the books in focus instead of two. :)
Mr. T in DC (46 months ago | reply)
In addition, I think what appears to be razor-sharp definitions in the depth of field is actually due to the generous curvature of the spines of the book. The planes of what would be partially focused areas lie in between the books, hidden behind the curved spines. So, volume 17 appears in focus, and volume 18 is blurred, and where the books touch is in-between, except you can't see it because of volume 18's spine. Does that make sense?
andwhatnow (46 months ago | reply)
I have the lens so I should just try it out :-) So far I only use it for mid-distance portraits so I haven't yet tried to get such a selective d.o.p. Thanks for the details!
Mr. T in DC (46 months ago | reply)
I know some people have complained about quality control issues with this (and other) Sigma lenses, but my copy is just fine. It doesn't seem to have any issues, as far as I can tell. Love it! Hope yours gives you good service as well.

Nice pic! I've used this (with attribution) for teaching "consumer laws" to my Business Studies class.

Mr. T. I love the photo. I see that it is released under a creative commons and I'd like to use it on my law firm website. Is that okay with you. I also see that you have reserved the right of attribution. How would you like to be attributed?
Mr. T in DC (8 months ago | reply)
Hello,
Sorry, my mistake, it's actually under a Creative Commons, Non-Commercial, Attribution license, and I've changed it to that in the settings. Basically, I allow use of my photos on blogs/essays/media, for non-profits and journalists to utilize, but for commercial use such as on a law firm website I'd charge a standard fee for that. If you're interested in pursuing that, please send me a Flickrmail and I'll give you me email address.
Best,
Mr. T in DC aka Ted N.

What a great picture. I have been looking through law marketing books all day and finally decided to come online to do some more research. I really like the creative aspect of this photo. Thanks so much for sharing this interesting picture!
