I took this picture while I was listening to the Ohio State Alumni Band performing in Worthington last weekend. I looked up and saw the weathervane that was slightly obscured by some of the trees, but could be nicely framed if I found the right angle. The trouble was that I was in the middle of a performance and didn't have much opportunity to find a new angle. I had to get creative. That's when I thought of my depth of field. I cranked open my aperture to f/4 and zoomed in as far as my telephoto would go. The resulting shallow depth of field removed the offending leaves sufficiently to give me a workable frame for the shot. I did a little Lightroom post processing that included:
- cropping to 1x1 dimensions
- increasing vibrance
- tweaking color saturation
- tweaking luminescence saturation
- split toning
I really like to contrast between the sharp focus of the weathervane and the blurred leaves in the foreground. Let me know what you think.
