Forawrapup,how about this ---><br />
image? Is it an OOF?Well,strictly<br />
speaking it is,butitwasdoneentirely<br />
in-cameraandnotwithfancypostprocessingsuch<br />
as that shown earlier.<br />
How?<br />
Theimagebelowwhatthetabletop<br />
stilllifesetup looked like when I<br />
made this "real OOF" - a black<br />
backdrop and a real photo mat (held<br />
in place by "helping hands").<br />
Just frame it all in your<br />
viewfinder,leaving out the<br />
helping hands,and you're<br />
done.For my original purpose<br />
(an altered image competition entry)<br />
this OOF would have been<br />
an illegal entry since it wasn't<br />
altered;it was an actual photograph.<br />
For my grand finale how<br />
about this OOF - it's a<br />
double exposure and was<br />
made by combining the<br />
two images below.<br />
For the art historians out there,long after I started doing OOF,I<br />
came across this painting.There's nothing new in the world.<br />
It's called EscapingCriticism (even in days of yore art judges<br />
weren't looked upon kindly,it seems).It's an example of a style<br />
called "trompe l'oeil" (French for "fool the eye") which is more<br />
descriptive than OOF,I guess.<br />
