In focus, the middle and the back...

Sitting atop a fence post appears this painted, rusted, weathered form in wrought iron.  I stood back and took a few snaps, only to find it was just okay, but not amazing.  So I started looking through the lens at different focal lengths and soon began to see other aspect of this composition. 

First you see whats in front of you in immediate focus.  Then as you move through the image, you see aspect of figures in the middle and then finally you see beautiful bokeh in the back.  

Although many famous photographers didn't do much of this back in the day, mainly because of the lenses used, but I am sure that some dabbled with double, triple exposures to attempt to create what they were seeing.  I am so fortunate to be able to have learned from other great photographers, some on G+, and some on blogs to follow pieces of what they do and incorporate it into my work. 

So when you take a picture look from the focused subject, into the middle all the way to the back and see what you come up with.  Find colors, shadows, forms and in some cases you will find a satisfaction that you took a moment to look through it all.

Let’s be honest, if you don’t care much about what is hanging in your VIP Lounge, club, space, then you need to re-look your VIP mojo.  I mean, come on, if you have people dancing, partying and having the best time what they need is a place to create that ultimate experience, and that ultimate feeling to come back.  It’s not the marble floors, walls, and count
