Some of you are already aware of my "Cram It" method, and it is simply a method of taking your lens, cramming into your subject or subject area, shooting wide open, use selective focusing, ..... and shooting!
This is a piece from a shoot that I did for a client today, and although they chose one that was very similar to this one, (almost identical) ... well, I preferred this one myself.

If you go to my journal and move over to the "Search" box, type in the word "cram", it will bring up the other posts that has something to do with my "easy to do" method.

Everyone take care, and hope this helps or gives one some ideas for this coming season!

I loved both of these shots and on my first try I got a result that I'm very pleased with. Thanks for the idea. I'll be cramming non stop for a while I'm sure.
