Black & White Challenge 69 - Shallow Depth of Field

[Chris Cook]

Thanks Amy @amyk for hosting the last round and my apologies for the late start to this next round. I was away on vacation and only returned a couple of days ago. Now that I have adjusted to being home again we can get this show on the road. For this next challenge I would like to see photos with a shallow depth of field. Open your lens to its widest aperture and focus very carefully on your subject. Note that this is NOT a bokeh challenge. Although bokeh will probably be present in some entries in others the background will merely be out of focus. Choose your subject carefully and take care on your focussing.
I am backdating this challenge to February 11( in case you have a photo recently taken that could be used). End date will be March 20. Photos must be taken within that time frame. Enter as many as you like but, of course, only one may be chosen as a finalist. Please tag your photo bw-69.

For those new to shallow depth of field shooting this may be of some help

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Sorry I missed your first message Jackie. Life has been a little hectic these last few days. I noticed that you have the end date as March 25, it is actually March 20. Thanks

[Chris Cook]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond, @farmreporter. I still have to set up the next WWYD challenge. I need to find a good starting Image so I will make sure I get that done this weekend and give you a heads up when’s it’s running.

@cdcook48 OK thank you, if you put the details in the thread for the SH T List it will help me out enormously!! I will corect the end date now :)

I have just added this and two similar photographs to this challenge. Whilst very different to the other entries could I ask if you are satisfied it/they are within the bounds of the challenge?

Thanks

John.
