Just drop the ENTER key from above and wait for the right moment before you take the shot

correct or not achew?

looks PPed to me.. coz.. the dof is fake....

agree.. coz this is not a plane of focus, this is more like a spot of focus but achew's work also give a wow factor! kudos!

the other area's blurriness are original..i only blur out the plane of focus coz my keyboard was dusty >.< anyway im only like 30cm away from my subject..so the plane of focus is pretty thin..nothing much need to be done =)

for the enter part...i just use a black color line to stick on the back of my enter key..and hang it up on top of the keyboard....and i purposely choose the angle so that the black line was blended into the black color monitor..

hope it helps


p/s: the position of the enter key also slightly adjsuted so that it could be as close to the plane of focus as possible..but due to the very thin DoF..the word stil need to be sharpen alot to get what u see now =)

there you have it, the magician's secret revealed!

@achew:
You're so creative! <Envy> And you make it sound so easy...

IT IS easy..lol..

most of my "floating" shots..the subject was tied up by black/white/transparent(fishing line) according to the background color..it works pretty well...if sometimes some part stil visible(due to flash or deep DoF)..u can easily clone it off..after all its just a very thin line.....i tried to "dropping" method..it took me 200+++ shots and 2hours just to get 1 that satisfy me...



so after this trail..i decided to think of a simpler way to ease my life..which is what im doing now...lol

but of coz..if u r from 1 of those anti post-processing/photo manipulation group...u can aways use my old method..it could be done..just that it cost "slightly" more time and shutter counts =p

ISO1000 kills the WB.

if i nt wrong..the exposure there shd b referring to exposure time..which is shutter speed..
