Focus on Stephen O’Loughlin
Stephen O’Loughlin’s shortlisted photo of people seen though a camera phone was an example of using depth of field as part of the picture.
Stephen has been experimenting further with the technique, here he’s taken a photo of himself holding his shortlisted image and then done the same with that print, adjusting the depth of field.
It’s a nice effect. You can try out depth of field effects if your camera allows you to control focus and aperture (SLRs will, but you can check your manual). There’s a great explanation and tutorial here.
