F is for Foreground

Old Ford Truck, Danny's Classic Cars, Elko, South Carolina  © Doug Hickok


F is for foreground. Focus on a nice foreground detail to add full depth to your photograph. This works fabulous with wide-angle lenses and high numbered f-stops.

F is also for Ford trucks, which seem to last forever.

And finally, F is for Friday. Hurray for Friday!
Friday is for dancing the flamenco on the hood of your old truck, car or F-15 fighter jet.

    Ford is the greatest! :)
    F. By the way: do you know Gordon Ramsay's TV show "The F word"? :)

    Can anyone take a photo of you dancing the flamenco on the hood of your truck?!

    Love the rust, love the old trucks.

    A good foreground makes for a fabulous photograph! Well done! By the way, I have actually viewed London Caller's blog a number of times and found it very interesting.
