Same Subject, different composition

For this blog post, I chose some coins. I thought they were interesting enough to photograph, and I got a few neat results.

I didn't really think a shallow depth of field looked good without the other composition elements, so it was kind of in two pictures, out of the three I have (because I didn't really get shallow depth of field without the other things)




I think the first image is definitely the strongest, because the other two pennies give a nice sense of depth. The third image would have been the strongest if the background were not so textured; that could have been done with more distance between subject and background to blur the table a little bit. I also like the second one, but I think the angle is nearly too dramatic.

Mundane to Marvelous (late)





Putting on a camera strap is about the most boring thing you can do in terms of photography - no longer! Put on a sleek, stylish strap like this, and immediately become a professional photographer.

OLD TIMER

OK, I hope the second one, at least, really speaks for itself.
