Pretty simple: - I look carefully at backgrounds and edges, when I can, and arrange my shot to include or exclude what I find distracting. - If the opportunity and scene allows, I open up the aperture to isolate the subject of interest. Not always possible or desirable, of course. - If the intent requires it, I move position and framing to exclude as much as possible of the background -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
