i've been pretty vocal around here about the DOF shot and how it doesn't work for porn, i figured i should state why i feel this is so true-
1st- my type of porn is solo girl photography, i don't care for the hardcore stuff, never have.
when enjoying solo girl photography, there's usually only a handful of pics out of a pic set that do it, based on position, angle, etc. imagination fills in the fantasy.
if that one shot is primarily out of focus or has an important part of the shot out of focus, the mind drifts to the fact that part is out of focus. it doesn't help with the fantasy.
moreover, the DOF shot isn't how the human eye works, when you are looking at something it is ALL in focus. if you change your focus to another subject (i.e. from punani to face, it is then in focus)
while i do appreciate the technical aspects of a DOF shot, i think it is much harder to get the entire subject in focus.
