Answers to: Why is Milan Man spinning around? Is there really a monk on the Cathedral roof? Which part of the Milanese bull has been reinforced? Plus, What’s a Splash Screen and can I make one?
Another great newsletter, this one giving insight into how you approach a commission. Again it transported me….to Milan. Thanks so much for the time you devote to sharing with us.
I signed up to be a paid member today. Loved this. One question about the monk: was F/4 an artistic decision to put the crosses slightly out of focus ?
Yes, exactly. I tend to shoot with wide apertures by default, possibly more than I should. I don't think it would have mattered very much if this image had been made at f/8 or f/16 because there's very little depth. But, yes, I can honestly say it was a conscious decision.
