One of the more eye-catching photographic techniques that I like to employ is using a very shallow depth of field (or DOF). In photos such as this, the focus is very tight in one particular area while the rest of the image remains slightly (or heavily) blurred.
The effect is always dramatic and is a personal favorite style of mine. This link takes you to all Street +/ Life photos tagged as DOF shots. As with other collections, this is a continually growing set.
(And here are model shots featuring a shallow depth of field.)
