Near or Far... What's Your View?
by Charlotte Bennardo
Simply put, depth of field is the range of distances in a photo, a scene, a glance.
Like anything in life, this picture can be looked at in two ways.
The first is the sharp focus on the foreground. Like our lives, our work, our situations, our problems. We focus sharply on them and that directs our actions.
The second way is to while seeing what's directly in front of us, see a bit beyond. No, we can't see it clearly, but then the future, decisions we must make, what options are open-aren't always clear.
The choice becomes focus on what we can clearly see, ignoring what may be beyond, or try to see that which lays beyond, not just solely what's obvious.
What's your choice?
