Faking Depth of Field

[raynerj1]

Ummm Steve,

DOF works with both the foreground and background. The attached cross illustrates this very well. The top of the cross is out of focus, the center stones are in sharp focus and botttom of the cross is out of focus. The cross was at a slight angle (about 75 degrees). So the shallow depth of field was captured nicely in this shot.
