I think this month’s Clickin Mom’s challenge, shallow depth of field, is a favorite amongst photographers. I know it is for me. Shallow depth of field is when your focus falls on a very small portion of the photo with the fore and background falling quickly out of focus.
Chasing two toddlers around, I very rarely have a chance to position them so that distractions are eliminated, opting to capture them in the natural (cluttered) environment. I use shallow depth of field to isolate them from the background A LOT!
Here are a couple of my favorite images where I use shallow depth of field.
As always I recommend you take a stroll through our blog circle to see the way these amazing talented ladies captured this month’s challenge. First stop – Ashley’s blog.
Great series of images!! I love the little guy blowing bubbles!!
I love these – all of them! Your processing is gorgeous! Great job!
Amanda, I love that most of your images include your son. I need to do a better job of capturing my kids. The light is wonderful in the first image, and I laughed out loud at his expression in the third! Seeing toys at floor level is my favorite perspective too. Great work!
These are great, love the facial expression on the bubbles
He is adorable! The bubble blowing one is my favorite!
Love the set of these – really captures the fun things boys love. Nice job!
Wonderful images… I actually love the image of the “Cars” trucks! What a wonderful reminder of boyhood!
MATER!!!! <–sorry, favorite kid movie:) These are great!
Love these examples of shallow depth of field. It can be such a great tool when trying to capture your everyday and eliminate the everyday clutter! I just love the shot of Mater – one of my boys favorites!
Great images! I really like your perspective on the Mater shot
Wonderful job Amanda! My favorite is the first- gorgeous light and processing! Your boys are so adorable!
