Simon's Cat – Focus with a set aperture
Title: Simon’s Cat
Exercise: Find a scene that has obvious depth. From the same place take 2-3 pictures, each focused on something at a different distance (for this to work use a wide aperture).
Approach: When I read through this exercise I was sitting by the bookshelves downstairs. I wasn’t particularly inspired at the time so thought I would try it out on something close to hand at first. I knew I was going out later and could always do something different then if I wasn’t happy. I’m not sure quite what I was doing because for some reason I changed the apertures a couple of times. I had read several exercises at the same time and think I just muddled them up.
So, while I understood the principle of the exercise it’s execution was possibly not what was intended!
