This wonderful image was taken by one of the members from our Modern Times group on Flickr. I love the short depth of field used in this moody night shot with the focus concentrating on the hat at the front of the shop window. I have shown this photographers work on Photo of the Day before with this great untitled shot of a twin lens reflex camera, also a great example of the use of short depth of field.

This was shot using film with a Rolleiflex, revealing the wonderful 6×6 square format that you don’t get to see much of these days.
