Drop Focus

Drop focus is a narrow band of focus, a very shallow depth of field.

I had no idea what drop focus meant when I looked at my brief, but whilst doing the macro workshop Andy let us in on the secret.
I decided to give this a go whilst I was doing the macro shots.
We were told that the optimum F stop to use for these images would be F8 or F11. I used a 1:1 macro lens for this which I borrowed at Giorgio.



I took this from the top of the necklace to give more detail to the image.



This is the same image as above but this one is warmer. The image looks too yellow though. I think I used daylight balance for this image.



This is the best drop focus image from the group. I like the colours and the contrast of the image. I also like how one bit of the necklace is in focus and the rest is out of focus.
