The Black Swan
Brett Fernau
For this Utata Iron Photographer project, I needed shimmering light, shallow depth of field and some grass. I knew where to find the shimmering light, as the duck pond at the Wildlife WayStation where I work has that quality each evening as I walk by. I pulled the grass out of my garden at home, which needed to be done anyway. As an added bonus the swan loved the grass and ate up every last stem.
The Iron Photographer Challenge
Here are the elements for Iron Photographer 22:
1 - grass
2 - something shimmery
3 - shallow depth of field
By grass, we don't mean the stuff you bought by the ounce from your room-mate's friend (that was probably mostly oregano anyway). We're talking about the stuff that comprises a lawn, or the stuff on which sheep and horses graze. You know...grass.
The second element, something shimmery is pretty much wide open. All we require is that it shimmers. According to the OED, that means something that reflects or shines with a tremulous or flickering light.
Finally, a shallow depth of field means the area in focus is shallow.
