Selective Focus


I like this image of a sign on the window of the door of a "old time" dentist's office because it says so much with just one word in focus and nothing else in focus.

The dentist's chair which is out of focus helps set the mood, but it's not the main focal point.

The use of selective focus or shallow depth of field can be very powerful. Just goes to show you that choosing the right place to focus can make or break a photo.

I photographed this image at the Museum of Science and Industry.
