Shallow depth of field can be used effectively to isolate subjects and make your visual statement clear.
It has commercial uses wherever something needs to be lifted out of a literal context, such as food shot for a magazine or menu. You don't need to know exactly what the plate or the tablecloth are like, or even the entire dish; it's enough to home in on a small area which looks just right, and let the rest dissolve into blur.
Anyone laying text or inset photographs over a background image will appreciate shots with very limited zones of sharp focus and large areas of diffused detail. This is not a consideration for the amateur, or has not been in the past, but the availability of electronically printed albums (photo books) with layout software on your own PC means you can now think like a magazine designer when putting together an album. Family, events, holidays, parties and hobbies are all popular subjects for photo-book production. |

July 11th 2008 - 9am, Japan - sees the Sigma DP1 updated with a new and very comprehensive firmware update. Taking cues from user feedback, the DP1 will now feature a "custom setting" menu to provide quick access to one of 15 different functions for the digital zoom buttons.

In addition, the DP1's LCD display now presents information on Auto White Balance & Auto ISO status, and the MF scale is in both metric and imperial measurements.

The Reflections competition was unfortunately delayed by technical difficulties with the site and possibly the longest "judging" period ever. Judging the entries from effectively a new start was extremely tricky, but the submissions reflected a widespread interpretation of the concept - the standard of entries was good, and as such choosing the final 10 really required a great deal of thought on how to interpret the requirements... |
