The Jaguar

The hood ornament of a classic car offers a variety of symbolism for its brand and its driver. I'm not a huge "Jag" fan, but this classic hood ornament on a well preserved classic caught my attention. I learned a long time ago to shoot in "aperture priority" mode in my camera and over the years forgot why. The recent acquisition of some great lenses for my camera reminded me why. Depth of field is a tool in every photographers toolkit and when used properly can be an effective method of drawing attention to a particular area of the image. This is a bit of an extreme example, but I like how it makes you feel like the jaguar is really going to leap off the car.

Today's subject is a bit of a departure from recent posts, but I wanted to share this image as it is a recent favorite.

Thanks for stopping by.
