Freddy with 9 – Telephoto 105mm (157mm equiv.)

Uploaded: July 26, 2009 06:09:17

Description

This picture was taken outdoors in the late afternoon. I decided that I wanted to get the viewers attention on the weapon, and have the shooter slightly out of focus, so I moved in close to the weapon allowing it to dominate the picture. I then set the camera to a medium aperture to give the desired DOF. This in turn gave a shutter speed fast enough to allow me to hand hold the camera, without using a tripod.
*** Don’t worry the weapon was cleared prior to taking the picture. ***

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed.
