FOREGROUND FOCUS

by Adrienne Lubbe

The foreground of a photo can play an important part of the overall composition of a photo.

This photo was taken on manual focus so that the flowers

in the foreground were in focus and the monument in the

background is blurred, but still easily identifiable.

Lie down on the ground to get a different perspective.

Here, the depth of field is higher, meaning that the foreground and the background is in focus. The unusual foreground makes the photo so much more interesting that just a mountain and a lake, although the interest of the photo has shifted from the lake

to the tree stumps.
