if you were after shallow DOF, this is an excellent example :)
Guest 12-Aug-2006 07:42
Look how the keys seem to get shorter at the focus point. A very interesting distortion effect, caused by the shallow DOF!

nearly posted the same shot for the challenge but changed my mind on the last minute. :)
Guest 11-Aug-2006 02:07
Love the lighting that you choose on this one, with this spot of light that can be seen far after the keys are just a blur. Nicely done!
