Recipe #13 Depth

[Ken Rennie]

Managing the trick of making a flat object look as if it has depth can add something to an image. This image of an Alpine lake has elements front a few feet in front of the camera to the Alps in the background. Sometimes I think in terms of foreground, midground and background planes but not in this case where I was only trying to fit the foreground waterlilies in with the sunlit grasses on the left and let the background fall where it will.

Very nice image. Did you do a focal stack on this one?

Sweet shot - I like the foreground focus with the blooming water lilies.

Very nice, and thanks for helping me to understand this weeks assignment, now I can see if I have any that qualify.

No focus stacking, no tripod. I sometimes shoot a focus stack but with landscapes seldom process the stack. Ken

This is great Ken! I was wracking my head to think about a good example of depth and you nailed it here. Way to kick this off.
