thanks for the comments. as for what you suggested, is it the kind of effect i did in the first? bench clear, everything else blur? or was it something else?ooh, I love this kind of effect!
I did one a while back, will post if i get TS permission heh.
Anyway, you may want to 'mask out' the background, as in add the background to the blur.
ie everything roughly the same distance as the bench remains in focus, anything outside of this focal band will be blur
here: hope its ok now
sure, go ahead!feels like i can pinch the bench out of the photo with my fingers!! :bigeyes:
hmmm need some time to digest on this... it will be really helpful if theres a similar pic to portray this. thanks for your comment!think what he meant was the flat horizontal ground space in the photo to be in focus..meaning the area on the ground that is of he same focal distance as the bench.
Thanks! Glad you like it...kind of like this pic.. looks cute.. haha..
