Spilling the Beans on a Shallow DOF:)

Chinchilla, Pennsylvania

Having a little fun with Photoshop and with words. As I was experimenting, as I am wont to do, with my Digital Rebel and my 50mm f/1.4 lens, I went a little too far and focused on this cannister a bit too closely and created an incredibly shallow DOF, so shallow, that the eddges of he canister are very soft, leaning towards out of focus. But this soft focus gave me the idea to frame this in a different way, giving the canister some perceived motion by extending the shelf to an "out of frame" style presentation. In combination with some PS special effects produced by masking, layering, stroking, distorting and blurring and having some fun with words, I came up with this proposterous title and composition.
