DOF Play September 22

For many reasons - well, one four hour reason - I felt like having another easy day. I opted for this shot of the Brunswick Railroad Museum third floor model train layout. This is really a very cool setup that shows the train line that ran from Cumberland MD to Washington DC - in minute detail. I thought it would make a good spot to play a little with DoF.

And here is Dan Chusid's suggested cropping:


other sizes: small medium large auto

Reminds me of the day I spent in the Musee Mechanique on the SF Wharf taking shots of the model setups. I think the crop works well, as Dan suggested, but I like the ominous 'giant' in the background this one offers - gives you DOF play and Perspective play all in one ;) Seriously, I understand the reason for cropping the top third, but I like the vanishing point element in the PAD choice that the rightside road gives it.

I agree with Dan, Cool effect though.

Crop the top third and it fools the eye
a little more.
Cute idea.
