Bannack: Reverse Shallow Depth

1. Wheel Shallow: 5.25.11; Bannack, Montana; f3.5; 1/100; Canon Rebel T2i; Manual
2. Wheel Deep:5.25.11; Bannack, Montana; f3.5; 1/100; Canon Rebel T2i; Manual

Although the camera settings for these pictures are the same, the effect is very different. In order to achieve the shallow depth of field I put my focus mode on spot metering. This allows the photography to manually focus on one specific piece of the frame and then re-frame to achieve the desired bokeh. In the second image I simple focused on the floor and base of the wheel instead, and then re-framed. Simple edits were done in Camera Raw such as saturation and exposure.
