sun 'n' fun 08 Untitled

... I love details.

The colors are great too.

I wonder if it would be possible to make a shot like this in which the background is suitably blurred but still tells enough of a story to explain the subject to the average viewer. (As opposed to someone who knows about airplanes.)

(I think this picture is actually pretty good but I can't help but wonder if it could be improved upon...)

i agree with you so much, that i actually did that shot too! :). It was in the "Favorites folder" instead of the aircraft folder.

I still blurred the background, probably around F2.8 or so, but it is clear enough to tell what you are looking at as well. Let me know your thoughts on that one. For some reason, i dont recall doing a version with a long DOF... oh well, next year; maybe with the 400mm at F32 :)....
