We’ve been having a great, lively class the past two weeks at Scrappers Workshop. Jenn and I and 6 students are in week two of our 4 week Digital Photography Master Class (see details here). One of the subjects we’ve been talking about is using a high f/stop or aperture to get maximum depth of field (meaning a lot is in focus). Why would you want to do that? Well, most landscapes you would want everything in focus; another would be large groups of people. But here are some funny, quirky pictures that use really deep depth of field and the camera’s force perspective to give you an out of the ordinary look at the world!

Funny aren’t they? We’ve done some of these type of pictures before but not as successful as these. Leave us a comment with your thoughts!

I LOVE THESE!
We’ve tried to do something similar, with my girls holding the Statue of Liberty in their hands, but I can never get it lined up correctly or the perspective is wrong and it always winds up looking ridiculous.
I love alexandre duart’s photo above – it’s my favorite.
I also like the one from toastforbreekie, but I’m not even going to mention the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw it.
