Steve, really great shot, have to agree about the DOF, but what could ya do about it?? Not much with your p & s camera, right? Just have to wonder what this would look like in black and white? Jim Gamble
Thanks as always for you kind and thoughtful comment. I agree with you about the DOF. This is one of the problems with these little P&S digital cameras. Although they are incredibly handy and sometimes can get you a shot you couldn't get otherwise, controlling DOF is torture. Since they are very small focal length, the DOF is pretty broad anyway.
So I'll need to revisit Bryant Park on a future NYC trip with my new equipment. I could easily spend a few hours just within Bryant Park and on the streets bounding it
hi, like the comp and the motion of pigeon..lighting, particularly the foreground showing shadowing is very nice..i think a min. DOF would have thrown background into a blur which would have made this a stronger shot..regards,gayle
