Great DOF and lines in this shot. Really stood out in your portfolio. Had to take a look after your great comment about the "wrinkly old guy". Made me laugh out loud.

Snap shot cameras don't always has "Slow" lenses but the do have a fixed and small apatures. say f/11 or even f/22 (Just a guess). this gives them a wide DOF. I guess I think of a slow lens as a lens that the glass actully reduces the light not the apature. I have an inexpensive 300mm lens and and inexpensive 2x teleconverter. the combonation of the two results in about f/11 (slow) however I can still set the apature to f/4.5 So I get the limited DOF that f/4.5 offers but I get the amount of light that f/11 would offer. Since the combonation is 600mm If I hand hold the camera I have to shoot at at least 1/600th to eliminate blur. It's very hard to hand hold a slow 600mm lens. A good book to get is "Understanding Exposure" can't remeber who wrote it off the top of my head but I bought it on Amazon.com

Being able to use DOF like this was one of the biggest changes in my photography when I bought a SLR. Point and shoot and disposable cameras tend to have far slower lenses, which is a good thing if you want to get in-focus pictures every time (since the larger the depth of field is, the harder it is to 'miss'). The downside of being easy to use and almost impossible to screw up, it makes everything in the picture equal. DOF is a great way to draw attention to one aspect of a scene.
And you're right - this one photo has gotten more comments than any of my other photos here.

Ethan: You mentioned in your bio about learning about the science behind the art. This shot is a great example of DOF (Depth of Field) I can tell by the area of focus the aperture used was relatively wide open or a small f/# like 4.5 as you close your aperture or "Stop it down" that are of focus would become greater. Also, that f/# becomes greater. This shot is a great example because it starts out of focus goes in focus and back out. Using aperture and depth of field can lead to great photos and lots of comments on usefilm...

Really good use of dof. Nice shot.

I like it because it is almost an abstract image. DOF used to good effect!

I like the simplicity of this capture Ethan, well done. Looks good in black and white.
