More the merrier, I love shallow dof so perhaps you can post some of your images to show others how DoF can be used to turn something dull into something of interest?

Just an idea.

I'll start with a lame one

ISO 3200, F1.2

My version of DoF fun...does that work for anyone? I still dunno...

Looks good to me casnell!!

A 17-55 kit lens reversed on the 350D - It's one if the REALLY, REALLY small chips on a stick of Computer RAM.

Not so much for the artistic merit, merely for the celebration of DoF, here's an angled view of a 20c coin, courtesy of the Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro. (That said.. there are some really good shots above!!)

Lots of great shots.

I'm a fan of ultra shallow DoF - I'll throw in an image as well

Michael, that is a great cat photo :up:

A few more weeks and the bottlebrush will be flowering again giving me some more photo ops of the loris.

Be gentle. It's my first time... (posting a photo on the forums

).

Posted: **Fri Aug 10, 2007 2:13 am**

I'll take it down further...

Tip of a 0.5mm pen... DOF is approximately 0.02mm :lol:

Any further takers?

Posted: **Fri Aug 10, 2007 2:16 am**

105 Nikon macro.....

Here's my contribution

Posted: **Sat Aug 11, 2007 6:32 pm**

this is one of mine i like.

cheers pa.

Posted: **Sat Aug 11, 2007 6:57 pm**

Yi-P:

That is brilliant!

... I'm going to look for another shot. My '20c coin on edge' shot is looking neither artistic nor technically decent in the face of some really, really good images on this thread.

Personally, I'd like official confirmation that this constitutes an 'August EIS'.

Posted: **Sun Aug 12, 2007 9:26 am**

this actually two images stacked together to increase the DOF

Posted: **Mon Aug 13, 2007 12:58 am**

Wow, Yi-P that is an incredible shot! What lens?

My dodgy addition, taken with a 50/1.8:

I just love the bokeh half way down on the right hand side of the shot

A second contribution, a follow-on to photos I took <a href="http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27959" target="_blank" class="postlink">last weekend</a>

The colour is deliberately skewed to make the plant look even more alien, but you can see from the branch on the right hand side that the DOF is fairly narrow!

Thanks for all the inputs

The photo of that tip of the pen is shot using a reversed 28mm f/2.8 lens on the D70. The image is not cropped at all. The magnification is probably down to a wooping 9X magnification, that is 9X the life size. Lens' rear element is about 1cm away from the pen, very dangerous if you're not careful enough...
