I like the picture Andy, all the heavy coats and waterproofs kinda give the impression we'd had some sort of bad weather in the idyllic paradise that is Vindolanda. |

A little late, I know and there is some overlap with other posts before, but I thought I'd post them anyway. Pierre |

And finally... I thought I should end this series with some almost blue skies. And to prove it was on location, I added some Roman stonework and that wonderful turf as well. Regards, Pierre |

Some great shots in there, I love the perfume bottle. A technical question for you Pierre, how did you get the shallow depth of field? Is that with photoshop post-processing or did you use some kind of filter on the lens? The plank shot is a good example of what I'm talking about. |

Shooting in portate mode at a low angle or macro would achieve the look or shooting at f4 or lower on manual focus. Alot of programmes will have a tilt shift of centre focus mode, I have one on my iPad for post shot photos. Brinno may have other options?

Brilliant, brilliant pics! Thanks tons for all of those. The detail is amazing. And the more I see of the Gauls' work, the more I admire the Severans who came before. That Severan causeway sitting under the Gauls' aqueduct couldn't be a better contrast. |

Hi Justin, No filters or photo-editing. It just comes down to the aperture-setting (Pete mentioned it as well): if the lens is opened as wide as possible, the depth of focus is smallest (so only a small part of the image is in focus). The photo with the plank was shot at aperture F2 (shutter 1/8000); the picture with the perfume bottle: F2.8 and 1/1000. If I would have chosen F7.1 for instance, the whole perfume bottle would have been sharp on the picture and a lot more of the plank would as well. I use a program setting on my camera which automatically adjusts the shutter-speed while I manually set the aperture. Basically with that I can influence how much of the picture is sharp or out of focus. This kind of setting can be done with most cameras. Hope that helps. Regards, Pierre |

Wow, I'm amazed you were able to get that much of an effect even at f2. I was expecting you to say it was through post-processing... Thanks for the info.
