Time for clocks . . .

In my current online macro class we're working on depth of field. It's a great excuse for me to play, so I selected this little gear from an old clock and used a 100mm macro lens with a Nikon 6T close-up diopter on the front. Depth of field is so shallow that just the tips of the foreground gear teeth are in focus, yet you can still see some of the details in the blurred background. Love this stuff . . . ©Carol Leigh
