Photos Perspective (Depth of Field)

[Let'er Buck]

This weekend I spent some time in the mountains enjoying the leaves changing as seasons shift here in the Mountain West region. I took some great pictures and decided to include my mammoth NW in a few. I hazardously set my knife up and snap a few pics just to notice the focus and perspective was off and had to step back a step and refocus on the blade. I caught myself thinking how gorgeous the backdrop was, and was comparing it to the beautiful covers of the NW. What I noticed was the beauty of it all was magnified when they were together.

Perspective is something that comes up frequently in my line of work, usually in the context of sharing perspective and finding mutual truths within two seemingly opposite perspectives when looked at from a surface level.

For the sake of turning an ordinary experience into something more than, I thought it represented something I myself need to do more of. When the perspective is off or the focus isn’t right stepping back and appreciating both separately and then together brings new meaning and new perspective.





It also makes for great photos.

I think that qualifies, more or less:

Beautiful country and nice pics! I'll have to see what I have that is appropriate for this thread.

Here's a couple. I'm afraid I don't have the alternate view. It's amazing the images you can get with a smartphone today.

Here's a pair more atune to the subject. I'm amusing myself while the grandkids watch cartoons in our basement family day care center..

Perspective...or Photoshop?

This definitely qualifies! Awesome photo, and awesome 14. I just sharpened mine last night, my little 14 sawcut gets a lot of 5th pocket carry.

Thank you! I confess, I can't make myself to use mine yet. Been wanting a TC Barlow for too long, just need more time to enjoy it's NIT presence.

Depth of field can make or break a shot depending on the intent. If you want wide shot with a knife in it, you use a longer (deeper) focus plane, if you want a picture of the knife without background clutter, you use a short focus plane. You can also use Bokeh to make the foreground image pop in the picture...

This thread proves what I have suspected for years - this web site is not about knives as a hobby, it is about photography as a hobby where knives happen to be in the pictures!

Great shots. Fantastic camera work. I myself am pretty naive when it comes to photography (as you can tell by my use of “perspective”). It’s nice to learn something new!

Man, we have some incredibly talented photographers in this thread! Thank you for sharing. What software do you use for editing? I’ve experimented with Lightroom but nothing else.
