A Perth man was pictured in a beautiful embrace with his girlfriend at a riot. police fired tear gas, shops were looted and cars burnt after the Vancouver Canucks lost an ice hockey final to the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night in Canada.

He said his girlfriend had been knocked down in the riot.

"I was just trying to calm her down," Mr Jones said

What a beautiful image...

I am now putting my rose coloured glasses back on...:love10::love8::love7:

Definitely an Ohhhh moment!!!

....Why is it that the riot officer is so out of focus yet they seem to be so clear and then the background seems out of focus again.

...depth of field focussing, BB.

I'm not a photographer but more sophisticated cameras (such as those with a manual/auto manual setting) allow the user to adjust the lens so that it can focus (or point on) a specific subject regardless of what's in the frame. This is something that the current digital "point & shoot" cameras can't do.

Thanks... I grew up using a simple Brownie camera and now I use the most simple digital camera I can find...

All this hi tech stuff is too hard for me...

....the current ones are quite simple to use, BB.....just need to practice. As an example, I took this pic using that technique. The photo is of a lady in a medieval re-enactment pagent. I focussed only on the lady's face so that the rest of her (eg, hands) and the people in the background were blurred.

Nice shot...
Do you not have to worry about shutter speed or whatever they call it??

....I don't know what the situation is now with the digital non point & shoot camera as I don't own one. I still have an old Cannon EOS camera (which I used to take that shot) but that unit used film. With that Cannon, I would adjust the shutter speed depending on what type of film I was using.

Hopefully, when the cost of these non point & shoot digital cameras comes down (should try and look on eBay...), I'll then upgrade.

It's definitely one of those once in a lifetime photographs but they certainly take their hockey pretty seriously!

That hockey loss makes yesterdays little fracas on the steps of Parliament House look a bit underdone.
