Glad it made you smile! It cracked me up when I took it.

Your "subject" is pretty much on the same focal plane as the entire frame without any significant depth to the composition, so "shallow depth of field" would be very difficult to obtain.

I was continually frustrated with my old point and shoot digitals. Even when they'd allow manual control over aperture and shutter speed, their widest apertures weren't really the same as on a film or digital SLR. Could never get them wide enough to get a narrow depth of field. One of the reasons I eventually went to an SLR. Dan, your idea is good. It's just the tool that suffers.

Might as well post this. Used it elsewhere at another forum for something rather esoteric.
