Macall Mulcahy week 2

I took this picture in Maui this summer when traveling around the islands of Hawaii.  It was a beautiful day but as it got closer to sunset dark thunderstorm clouds started to move in.  Although the breeze was still warm and the air was thick this was a perfect time for a sunset swim and beautiful picture.  I can still remember slowly walking down those stairs into the warm pool water, light grains of sand on the bottom washed away from the feet of those who had just came from the ocean.  The lines in this picture are very extreme from the horizontal horizon and the vertical palm trees.

Depth of field refers to the range of distance that appears acceptably sharp to a blurred view.  DOF gradually changes from sharp to unsharp rather than having a main subject in the forground and everything else behind it unfocused. Everything in front is focused and as distance decends back it loses its sharpness.

Born on July 26, 1928, in Paris, Elliott Erwitt spent his childhood in Milan. His family moved back to Paris in 1938, and immigrated to New York the following year then moved to Los Angeles in 1941. His interest in photography began while he was a teenager living in Hollywood.  In 1951 he was drafted for military service and undertook various photographic duties while serving in a unit of the Army Signal Corps in Germany and France. While actively working for a magazine, industrial and advertising clients, he devotes all his spare time toward creating books and exhibits of his work.  to this date he is the author of over 20 photography books.
This picture was taken in New York, East Hampton in 1983.  This surreal photo caught my eye because the subject is clothed and the artists are not.  The lines in this photo occur at a horizon where all behinds aline on a certain line and where the subject stands as well, along with other obvious lines.
