PPBF Weekly Challenge

At Cline Ellis Photography, we like to do anything we can to improve our skills and stay sharp. In doing so, we read and participate in various blogs and forums related to the photography field. The Pro Photo Business Forum is one that issues a weekly challenge to its readers to help us in our craft. This week...Tell a story in a photograph using shallow depth of field. Most of you may recognize shallow depth of field as the look of a portait with the subject in sharp focus with a lovely blurred background.


My son, Dylan is the background subject of my challenge entry. He is a baseball fanatic and would love nothing better than to one day have his own pro baseball card! In this case he is in the dugout during his last baseball game showing me a baseball card one of his teammates gave him. Since I am not a baseball fanatic, I have no idea who this Cubs player is on the card. Maybe someone would like to accept that challenge? :-)


I think it's important that we always challenge ourselves, and I look forward to participating in future weekly challenges!

Thanks for looking!
