POIESIS Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 okay, i just looked at the one shot of rage's again and it looks like the thing has a super wide tank like bottom...sort of like that huge thing that moves the space shuttle to it's launch pad.

Quoted post i had a big answer all typed up earlier but my shit froze up for some reason. anyway, bethlehem is actually a real city, about 45 miles NW from philadelphia. it's not a metroplis, but it's not tiny. the steel is smack in the middle of the south side of the city (the working-class side), while the north side is full of 'cute', 'eclectic boutiques'... shit like that. that's the steel all down the left. a good 40% has already been torn down so that should give you some idea of how big it was/is. bethlehem itself is pretty much in the pic... but it goes beyond the right edge of the frame for another 5 miles at least. if anyone's in the area and looking to get a tour, PM me. for real, i should charge $25 for insider's guides... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rage- Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Here's an aerial view from Google maps. I highlighted in green what carwreck and I walked through. As you can see, we barely covered any of it. (Note: the map is slightly outdated and some of those buildings, mostly the smaller independent ones, are demolished) I'd love to go again, with just a 35mm and my digital. I can't carry that fucking 20 lb. backpack again frull of Polaroids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the in-focus part will be a slice of it. The larger the aperture, the thinner the in-focus area. The larger your aperture, the more blurred the background will be. Sharpness of the infocus area will vary depending on your lens. Which lens' are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
