Recently I was at a friends photo lab taking pictures of items that will be used for decoration at my daughter’s wedding. When we finished with the centerpieces we started to play around with these rocks. For this shoot we had several different light sources, no flashes. I wanted a shallow depth of field for this shot so that the rocks on the top would be the focal point, and the rocks that are hidden would be slightly out of focus. Even though this is listed as macro I used my 24-70mm lens set at 60mm. This photo is the perfect example of taking photos of common objects. I like the different colors, patterns and sizes present in this photo. To me each rock has much interest. The best part is that this type of shoot doesn’t have to cost much. The rocks were a total of $1 at the local dollar store.

Thank you for visiting today.
