RE: Encounter in the woods
Thanks for your feedback @liberosist! It was actually my intension that only the head of the T-rex is in focus, so that the body merges with the blurred background. I wanted to have the T-rex kind of "moving" out of the background towards the observer. Still, thanks for sharing your impression!
Ah, I see. For me, it has the opposite effect - the T-rex is merging with the background.
Just some thoughts - you kept the T-rex in focus, clearly separated from the background. But used light, or maybe a wider lens, to have that effect. Just some thoughts. I know it would require a much larger lightbox to pull it off!
Right, I wanted to have the backmost part of the T-rex merge with the background but the head to stick out. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, I will definitely keep experimenting with this kind of photography.
