(Day 238) - Put in All Your Chips

I'm taking all my photos from a 'top-down' perspective this month. This one was tough because I wanted a sense of height for the stack of potato chips (or crisps as they are called in England) but it kept looking so flat. I adjusted the aperture to give myself a shallow depth of field and it helped. At least I hope you can see the depth in this shot. I did my best. :)

Mmmm, sour cream and onion.

[Chris Johnson]

@amandal - Haha, I was wondering if someone would catch the flavor! Good job Amanda. ;)

[Graham Thresher]

Lovely, tasty capture.

[Louise & Ken]

I'd say you did just fine!

[Simply Amanda]

@cjphoto I know my chips. Great pun, too!

[Julie Ryan]

It looks like a very tall stack; great job!

[Gena Pegg]

I really like this and can get a sense of depth and height! Nicely composed!

[KWind]

Creative shot. Great dof!

[Taffy]

DoF works perfectly! That's quite a stack...could topple at any moment.

[katy]

I think it was brilliant to adjust the DOF! You have achieved exactly what you wanted to ! well done, Chris!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

I can see the depth. You've got quite a stack of chips there!

[Ann T.]

Great job!

[Ukandie!]

It works, the dof did just what you wanted it to do.

[Debs Stott]

Hmm, look like Pringles? You definitely achieved the height thing.

[Anja]

Yes, the dof works very well. I think you'd best eat them before the tower falls :-)

[Sam]

Makes me want to reach thru the screen and eat them!

[Dione Giorgio]

Great dof and well done. I love those crisps.

[Annika]

I tend to go all-in when having chips too lol

[Nick]

Great composition.

[Francoise]

I think it worked. love the soft colors too, o not what I usually associated with chips.

[Caroline]

You definitely did capture the depth Chris, well done. Love that title too!!!

[Corrie]

Mouth watering shot!

very creative and cool ... great!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That stack is too dangerous. I think you need to eat a few for safety precautions. Good shot!

[Chris Johnson]

@lynnz - Thank you very much Lynn! And I appreciate all your recent comments too!

@olivetreeann - Haha no worries, the tower shrunk considerably after this shot! ;)

[Ron]

Ya done good!

[Tracey H]

great focus and the soft almost mono color tones are interesting
