Subject: PESO -- Brass Penny



Somehow a plastic bike helmet just seems so wrong.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1604247/PESO/PESO%20--%20brasspenny.html

Equipment:  Pentax K20D w/smc Pentax FA 28-200mm f3.8~5.6

Note:  The problem with letting the camera pick the plane of focus is 
it's not often the one you prefer.


And here I thought the operator was the one that picked the plane of 
focus !


In this case I let the camera decide, and the door of the SUV is in 
perfect focus...






As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.

I'm sure it is a rhetorical question but whatyoudo is use a 35mm f2 or
a 55mm f1.8 and shoot wide open.
At 10 ft. the 35mm would give you a 2' area of DOF.
At 15 ft. a 50mm would give you 1.5' of DOF (in the case of a f1.4) or
1.83' (in the case of a f1.7)

Loved the picture and thought the helmet made for an interesting past/present 
contrast.  Biggest problem for me was the background, over which photog had no 
control other than maybe blurring (i,e bouquet)

At least an anachronism, in this case. Very much like the combination of the 
bike and tree. Too bad not isolated.
