About the Image(s)
This image was taken inside a violin shop. I was drawn to the repetitive patterns of the violins hanging in a row. The image was taken handheld with my Sony 7RM3 on manual mode, shutter 1/100 sec, f/4, ISO 3200 (in auto ISO). Lens was a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 at 75mm. No flash was used, just natural light. I used ON1 RAW 2019 as my post processing program and conversion to B&W.

Hi Pam, Nice example of using a shallow depth of field to your advantage. Although this is a monochrome site, I still like the color version better. Nice shot either way. See you around DD51! Posted: 08/04/2019 20:21:10

Thanks Dave. Sometimes I don't have an image that I think will look good in B&W but I thought this one would work. Posted: 08/04/2019 20:23:40

First, I like your ability to see details in a crowd of impressions. I like the BW version best since it is repetition and patterns that is the issue. I also like the use of depth of field, maybe you could have tried an f-stop wider to get more blur. It should not, however, affect the sharp one. Posted: 08/09/2019 01:17:11
I enjoyed seeing the"S" lined up. The cropping allowed me to focus on the main subject. I like the patterns and textures in the image. The highlights and shadows in the original were successfully converted to monochrome. Posted: 08/09/2019 18:51:04

Lovely color and mono. Well done. Posted: 08/13/2019 18:28:56
I, too, like your use of DOF here. And I wonder what the result might have been with the application of Arne's comment about a wider aperture? Personally, when the opportunity to make this type of image presents itself to me I'm always in a quandary about which of the objects should be the one in focus. Posted: 08/14/2019 10:53:21
