Daaaaad!
Woah, from the thumbnail, I thought it was The Beatles compilation album '1'.
Ah thank you, it was familiar to me and I wasn’t sure why.
Was unaware of this album and the art.
First thing I thought of too, glad it wasn't just me!
Love the contrast. Great pic! ✨
Is this a textured medium or is it just that detailed?
The wall and the pipe were textured. Just made it pop.
How were you able to achieve both parts of the photo being in focus? I’m trying to become a better photographer and move away from a “wide open is the best aperture” mindset.
The wall and the post weren't too far apart, and I stood back enough to be able to play with the zoom and focused mainly on the post.
You'll learn pretty quickly how just aperture affects a photo, in how much depth of field you have. The part that's more nuanced is figuring how zoom plays into that as well. Zoom also compresses the depth in a shot, so to speak. The most extreme version you'll see is towns with mountains towering above them that seem like they're in the back yard, but there's really a ton of distance. It just looks almost flat because the photographer is using a really long lens.
There are apps/calculators that will give you the depth of field for any given focal length and aperture, but I found it to be a lot of trial and error when learning how the various settings work together.
You could've said it's a painting and I'd believe you
Looks like a solid piece of artwork.
Bollard.
Thanks I was too lazy to actually look up it's specific name.
No sweat, I don't expect anyone to know something like that.
I have a 2 year old who is obsessed with them. She loved the picture. We have to take a picture with one every time we go to the store.
My dad is a civil engineer though, so we're not a good test case.
I hope you don't mind, but I've cross posted it to abstract photography
You added credit right?
Yep, a link to the original post and your user details
Concrete evidence.
Bahdah Ba Ba Ba. I'm Lovin' It.
