aftermath



This photo is a twist on an idea my husband had. I played with different angles and different lighting. I actually liked the lighting in some of my other attempts better, but I liked the depth of field in this one better. My biggest disappointment is that when I shrunk it for the web, I lost the detail that was in focus and it looks blurry. My full size file looks much better. I went with this one because it didn't look at forced as my other attempts and it captured for me the "aftermath" of a celebratory evening...

i like the way you personalized this idea. Although i do have to admit the picture quality may make it a little difficult to determine exactly what is going on this photograph. A tip on uploading for computer screen or internet viewing: unless you'll be printing the image, typically you should use a resolution of 72 and high or very high for your image quality setting, for the size make the long edge either 800 or 1024 depending on the layout. i like your use of depth of field again, but i think the carpet may have made an uninteresting forground to be either in or out of focus, but that could just be personal preference or a different mental picture of how i would've done the picture. But once again, great job, especially considering your're still using the little point and shoot.

Wow, I didn't know what I'd start when I posted the picture of my messy bed. ;)
