This week's photo assignment on Amy's blog was "Checking Your Corners." All too often, pictures are plagued by clutter. Whether it's crazy Aunt Edna's wig sticking up in the corner or the tree that looks like it's growing out of your kid's head, clutter happens in pictures A LOT.
I have to admit, I purposely shoot with a smaller f-stop so that my depth of field is small enough to obscure the things in the background.
Because hey, let's face it, I have three kids. There's a lot of background stuff.
Anyway, the purpose of this assignment was to shoot purposefully in such a way that there are no distractions from the focal point in your shot.
Here goes!

Focal Length: 50mm

ReplyDeleteLove both of these - If you could do a third one with Bean you would have a perfect, frame-able set. (Or heck, go for the perfect pentagon and do one of you and one of the hubby!)
