Photography
An old photo I've found in my harddrive. An example of the sort of thing I used to do.
This is a photo I took in downtown when I was first getting into photography and was the first attempt of using a narrow depth of field in a photograph. It was taken on a fall day a few years back. I wanted to capture a sense of depth in the photograph, despite the fact that the statues are actually less than three feet apart, so I selected an reasonably broad (not too broad, obviously) aperture setting to slightly remove both the foreground and background from complete focus. What also stuck me about the scene is how damn cold it is. The angle and the leafless trees and the general sad look of the statues give a very wintery sense to it.
Technical details I don't remember, but it was taken on 35mm 100 ISO Kodak B&W film and produced on Ilford photo paper. The aperature setting was probably 5.6.
