| I know it is counter to all we've been told about landscapes but I think this could be a fun bit of experimentation. Take a landscape photo with a thin depth of field. Advanced editing. |

| I might have to finally succumb to the purchase of a lensbaby - I have been holding out for so long on the grounds that I really don't need one.... |

If you were on the states, You could have my Spark for $50. I have found that it just doesn't suit my photography style.

I agree. The challenge is to do this in camera, but not under the minimal rule set. |

Leaving it wide open for domination by the few of us who have WA Tilt/shift lenses :-) |

True, but despite the fact that I have neither TS nor lensbaby, I would still like to try this without resorting to photoshopping in the blur. It would be a challenge, and it would further my photographic skills. |

| So is there any more support for this challenge idea? My challenge ideas usually go over like lead balloons but this one seems to have at least a modicum of support. |

I'd like to see more examples of what people consider "shallow DOF landscape". If you use a near focal point, e.g., say some wildflowers, and all else is OOF, is that really still a landscape?
David Muench (my landscape idol) uses near focal point, POI, and the landscape as a backdrop...but it's not shallow DOF.

| I'd be more likely to use somme OOF nearby flowers or branches to frame in in-focus distant landscape. Or maybe try to get a really shallow DOF in the mid-range area, simulating the tilt-shift (or "fake miniature") look. |

+1 great idea, I love landscape photography..
However, I have no idea what a shallow DOF means.. I will have to learn and start studying up what settings I need to achieve this..
If this doesn't end up to be a part of the challenge, is it possible to make it a side challenge for it?
