Snakeskin Shadow on Handrail
I had time to do a photo-walk this evening. Go figure! Walking over the bridge crossing the freeway, I noticed the chain-link-fence was casting this awesome shadow on the handrail. It created this snake-skin like effect that looks painted-on. If you look, you can make out a car just under the rail.
#ds167 – Make two photos today of the same subject: one with deep depth of field, one with shallow. Post your favorite of the two.
I took several of these with several depths of field. So yeah, I think I completed today’s assignment. 
Really cool shot. I like the effect too and the lighting is awesome.

Thank you! I am wondering if this one will get traction in my photography club. I’m pro on it right now, lets see if that feeling lasts.

Sure does look permanently etched on there Sean, and I think you called it right with this depth of field too… Nice one…

Now it wasn’t intentional when I was taking the shot. However, now that is done, I can argue… “The fence in the background paints the picture of what the shadows are in the foreground”
Thanks, Brian

Great DOF and wow! that shadow patten is awesome! Definitely looks like it is part of the railing. Love the background, too.

At first I thought “eewww!” and then I realized that it wasn’t really snake skin. Very cool shot.

Sweet! It was believable, that is what I was after! Thanks!

That’s a great shot, Sean, especially after reading the description. Good eye on that one….sometimes I overlook simple things like shadows that can make an interesting photo.
