Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / July 2007Are the Amish backward?
http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6249647&size=lg I guess so... Cheers, Alan PS: My SO and I enjoyed a day at an auction conducted by the Amish and Mennonites near Intercourse, PA. Wonderful...

Wonderful... What lens did you take that with? There's so much depth of field there, at first glance it looks unreal. You had to do something to compress the EV range, though, no doubt? Took a kayak trip down the Cass River (small, but pretty) a few months ago. The only other boat I saw on the water that day was a couple Amish guys in a little fishing boat, with a motor on the back... -- www.mattclara.com > "Alan Browne" <alan.browne@FreelunchVideotron.ca> wrote in message >> http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6249647&size=lg > What lens did you take that with?

The lady in the middle is about 8 feet in front of the auctioneers; the fellows standing at the back are about 40 feet in front of the auctioneers. ... that was a 135mm @ f/1.7 (with sensor crop it was effectively 200mm). I was about 40 feet behind the auctioneers. Adding to the "unreal" effect was that it was an open sided tent, so everything outside was pretty much blown away as I exposed for the subject... (see other phot as well). > Took a kayak trip down the Cass River (small, but pretty) a few months ago. > The only other boat I saw on the water that day was a couple Amish guys in a > little fishing boat, with a motor on the back... Cheaters!

Ahem, posting a little too early in the morning--I meant very limited depth of field, of course. -- www.mattclara.com >>> "Alan Browne" <alan.browne@FreelunchVideotron.ca> wrote in message >>>> http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6249647&size=lg [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Ahem, posting a little too early in the morning--I meant very limited depth > of field, of course.

Somehow, "depth of field" is gradually taking on the opposite meaning from the real one. Other discussion aside, though, I really like that shot, it's very nice. -- Jeremy | jeremy@exit109.com | http://www.flickr.com/photos/100mph/ >> I know ... just had to do my stomping... > > Somehow, "depth of field" is gradually taking on the opposite meaning from > the real one.

Why thank you. Just a grab to compliment others shot from the front side...

The correct term is "shallow" depth of field. In conjunction with a zoom lens you can get that effect too. >> Ahem, posting a little too early in the morning--I meant very limited >> depth of field, of course. > > The correct term is "shallow" depth of field.
