New Project

[Scho]

hi all,

One of the maintainance guys found this sewing box was in the grounds of the victorian mill my studio is in. There are loads of old terraces that back onto the plot and we think someone just dumped it. I saw it in his office and 'borrowed' it about a year ago. I always meant to photograph it and i finally got off my arse this afternoon

what do we think?

honest c&c very welcome, good and bad.

My mum used to have one of those. In fact I have a sneaky feeling that she may still have it.

Rubbish DOF

Before I disappear off down a tunnel of my own - surely every home had those boxes 30-40-50 years ago?

Great shots - I like the project.

I'm doing a course at the moment and everyone is annoying the hell out of me by describing shallow depth of field as "GOOD depth of field" all the time.





Depth of field is surely only "bad" if something that is intended to be in focus is out, and otherwise has no quality of "good" - it's either shallow or deep.

But colloquially, it seems that the proletariat believe something with shallow dof is great depth of field.

Am I mad? Or are they?

They are (though it was a close run thing!)

I had a comment recently: 'Wrong depth of field' - however they did not say how it was wrong...

So we have Shallow vs Deep, Good vs Bad, and now Wrong vs Right!!!!
