This is a composite shot for DOF. I had been shooting for about 30mins taking a shot of each solid color background. I was about to go home when I noticed the display changed to multi-color. The colorful display was cycling through the spectrum and my original settings of ISO 100, f8, 2.5 secs was too long. The background became a single color. So I quickly changed the f-stop to f2.8 to increase the shutter speed and that did the trick. When I got home, I noticed the DOF was very shallow and the foreground elements were slightly blurred. (My focal plane was on the fountain) So I stole some crisp tables and chairs from one of the shots taken at f8.
