Technique 99 Shallow DOF

October 26th, 2019
Thanks Jackie @30pics4jackiesdiamond for hosting the tasty food challenge technique98 - loved all the food references in your hosting posts and there were so many great images! Many thanks to all who entered and voted. I was so surprised and honored to win my first challenge and now must host the next technique challenge. Truthfully I am a bit terrified and fearful of messing this up. But I am jumping right in to get technique99 up and running.

I’m choosing to repeat shallow depth of field as the technique for this challenge. It was done in the technique70 challenge https://365project.org/tags/Technique70 and it seems to be a popular technique. There’s plenty of information on the internet where you can see shallow dof images and find descriptions of the technique.

So, let’s embrace the blur!
