Stunning. The emotional impact has moved me to tears. I'll remember this moment for the rest of my life.

Black and white don't contrast enough.
Moar exposure, if you will.

Nicely done. The only other problem I have with the picture is the lack of focus on the white square bit of the connecting wire. It should be as crisp as the front of the electronic device (forgive my lack of jargon on electronic devices)

Now I am too lazy to fix that :)

I scratched out my eyes from my own eyesockets and poured mercury into the empty sockets and then ripped off my nostrils with fish hooks due to the beauty and superb composition of the OP's photograph.

n00b question: how can the DOF be so shallow even if aperture is f8.0? shouldn't it be wider?
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
>>105748
DoF depends on focal distance in addition to the aperture. So all other things being equal, a closeup will have a narrower DoF than something shot a reasonable distance away.

Speaking of which, I was having a hell of a hard time getting enough DOF to photography my wedding ring a month or so back. Even at f/22, I could barely get 3-4cm of DOF. I guess focusing at a greater distance and cropping is better than filling the frame with a tiny subject and not cropping?
>> Butterfly !xlgRMYva6s
>>105749
No it doesnt, DoF is controled only by aperture, someone did an experiment to show that at different focal lengths the fallof for the same aperture is the same.
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
>>105763
Focal distance, not focal length. I.e., a 50mm lens stopped down to f/2.8, you'll have a shallower DoF taking a picture of something 1M away than something 20M away.
>> Anonymous !SDPEsPMnww

The focal length also plays a role in determining the DOF. That's probably why my two zoom lenses don't have any aperture/DOF tick marks on the distance scale, whereas my prime lens does have them.

This is the thing you're talking about. Key quote:
>if the subject image size remains the same, then at any given aperture all lenses will give the same depth of field.
In what I'm discussing, he's making the subject image size a lot bigger with a constant focal length and aperture.

My zooms do

I miss-read you, yeah no arguments about that :P

Use this calculator, and change *only* the focal length: http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html

Here's a page that explains it a bit better, and explains why wide angles seem to have a greater DoF than teles.
>> Anonymous !SDPEsPMnww

The article says "virtually* constant."
Here's an excerpt from that chart:
Focal Length (mm) Focus Distance (m) Depth of Field (m)
10 0.5 0.482
20 1.0 0.421
50 2.5 0.406

Now, the difference between 10mm at .5m focus distance and 50mm at 2.5m focus distance is nearly 8cm, which makes a big difference in macro photography.
