Stones
I studied high school photography, and by the end of collating my folio had a real love- hate relationship with the images. These days I lean more towards the love side, and since they are all film images regret that I no longer have access to a dark room. So I took the opportunity a little while ago to revisit and reshoot. Original images in this series came about through some casual messing around with DOF while my dad was fishing one summer, which ended up sparking my folio, exploring structure of sticks and stones with a shallow DOF.

Hi there! I accepted this photo into the group Photography 101, however it lacks the type of description we would like. Please adhere to the following guidelines so that your photo can be of help to other members! Thanks!!
Artwork should contain a description (which ties in with the physics and emotion behind taking pictures mentioned above). At the absolute minimum, the camera, lens, and settings should be included, but more of a description as to how the shot came about would be very useful too.

Im sorry that the explanation fell short of the group expectations, I have now endeavored to fix this. Thank you for the heads up.
