The camera data on this puzzles me a bit: 1/40, f/8, 109mm, ISO 800. This was fairly early in the morning, on the shady side of the building, thus the high ISO. For the depth of field in this image, I would have expected a lower aperture #. Must be the longer focal length? I don't recall what mode I shot this, so I can't claim credit for the exposure. Probably Tv?
You have me singing the mazda song now (you need an extra "zoom")! :) I love the clean line in this and how it creates depth!
ReplyDeleteI would have expected some 'in your eye' color on these macho machines! Amazing how the softer hues catch the eye just as well....
ReplyDeleteThey are so clean! I have a bad grasp of how focal length and aperture combine, I guess that makes the extra zoom though.
ReplyDeleteCan't help with your settings but if you were aiming for a nice, shallow DOF, you nailed it. It's perfect the way the focus falls off from the first bike....
ReplyDeleteI love repetition shots like this. Great eye
ReplyDeleteThe repeating patterns in this image are great.
ReplyDeleteNice shot. As 'PWP' says - great DOF!
ReplyDeleteI think the DOF can be explained by a few things. The longer focal length plays into it but also your distance from the image in the foreground. I recall one of the tips from the DOF Mini Assignment said that you can zoom with the lens or zoom with your feet. I think your combination here is what affected the DOF. I like the repetition of the forms in this shot too.
ReplyDeleteLove the repetition of the bikes! Well done!
