Dodging. Duck.
When I am out and about, doing a shoot there is always the subject I am trying to focus on. Someday that may be a model. Another day it may be a sunset I am trying to capture just exactly right.🌇
What I learned along the way though, is that the most beautiful shots are not taken by looking at the thing you were trying to shot. This walking duck is a perfect example of that. It was the best shot of my whole day even though I was shooting in Amsterdam with a great model. 😵👍
Amsterdam, north: 85mm Samyang lens at 1.4 on my Sony A7II
This sweetheart came at us while shooting, since it probably thought we had some food on us. A photo is all he got :p
I only shot manual lenses, since I love to have the flexibility to get the focus on what I want it to be in any circumstance. I am happy how this shot turned out to be 📷😁
PS. The number of people responding to my last post about "Why I think Steem should learn from Instagram's mistakes" got out of hand yesterday.I love to see so much positive feedback, although I was not at all expecting it to go this well. Click here to read that post.
As always thanks for your time, I hope you enjoyed this. Feedback is always appreciated!

Great shot, I see you also use not so vintage lenses, even if you gave this one a really cool vintage look! The colors and shallow DOF gives it a kind of miniature feeling, so I thought it was a porcelain duck at first. Very interesting.
I am in love with old glas. 📸 it is just a shame to see great mancraft not being used anymore for the lack of autofocus. ☘
This was indeed put a filter on to make the colors pop more contrast. Ty for your interest in my work!

How do you achieve such blurriness outside the area of focus? I like the darkness feeling!

That is what a lens with an wide aperture does! It creates a shallow depth of field. Also the focus distance and the background distance make up how much it blurrs. 💥

Beautifully captured.
That is kind of you, what are you trying to do here on Steem? :) I see you are at least writing about health. any other ideas?
t.
No other thoughts yet. Just trying to write on Healthcare.
I see you are a medical student. Why did you decide to post on photography instead of Medicine?
Sorry for late reply. There should be a notification area on steem. I missed many replies due to that problem.
