A shot which is very easy to accomplish by using a simple focus “trick” is focusing, moving slightly, then taking the shot.

Example:
You will notice the left is in focus while the right is out of focus. How is this achieved?
It’s very simple.
- Place your subject directly in the center of the frame.
- Focus but do not shoot.
- Physically move slightly to the left or right.
- Shoot.
The end result is what you see above. This can be done with any digital camera – even with the most inexpensive model!
It is the appearance of “selective” focus, a feature found on more expensive cameras. But you can replicate this easily just by focusing, physically moving, then taking the shot.
