The weather was so bad yesterday (drizzly, slushy snow and rain) that I barely made it out the door before changing my mind about photography that day. Today, it was snowing lightly, and I slogged through almost a foot of snow in search of foxes. They had better sense than me and decided to sleep in this morning. The only thing I saw this morning was another photography friend who had the same bad luck I did. This is the fox I used to refer to as the beta male, who in all likelihood is the areas alpha male now. He’s much less anxious now, much bolder, and not afraid to get close now. So close I couldn’t fit all of him in the frame. He’s a very handsome fox, and poses reasonably well for me. He’s spotted something and it’s holding his attention. We left soon after this shot was made to investigate whatever captured his attention.

Featured in Graphic Editing 101 – Thank You / I am trying my hand at ‘text’ ural images LOL. I have just joined a lovely group known as The Visual Dictionary / The art work in the gallery there is stunning! Please go and check it out. It is hosted by Lydia Marano and Jill Ferry / Fantastic!!! This is my first attempt at this style, so pls feel free to give me a good old fashioned critique. Perhaps the text area is too big. That is one of my thoughts anyway. Thanks for looking! / /

In the background is Steel Mountain and the storm on the horizon. This lake is over 200 feet deep in spots, and has hot springs under it as well. This is my country, my favorite place. I lived here for almost six years, and I hope to again someday. This area is very rural and rugged.

About This Group

Hey Everyone! Welcome to ‘Depth of Field’. The group is for anyone and has been started for people that love to play with the depth of field of their images. You may post any type of pics that you would like (no nudity please) and would love to have any information on your photo to give other photographers as much information to help them in their own quest to expand their talents.

- Don’t necessarily have to be a very shallow depth of field, but there must be a clear focus point, and a clear field of de-focus.

- Photos where everything is clearly in focus won’t be allowed: this is a group to showcase the use and control of Depth of Field to acheive a particular result.

- No “faked” depth of field please! (i.e. the depth of field must be an entirely natural consequence of the aperture and not created or altered [exaggerated] in photoshop) Absolutely NO HDR.

- No photo compositions or photos with huge borders – single photos better portray good DoF.

-No large borders/added text titles. – these distract the eye from the DoF in the photo. It also makes the photo far less discernible at the small size in the pool. The pool is therefore supposed to be a good representation of DoF.
Please no snapshots… if this is confusing then just take a look around our group! And, most of all…. have fun!
If you have any questions please email me at: Jen Wahl
