First time i've seen a side by side comparison from the Spark like this and I have to admit, it really does add a lot to the picture. Thanks!

PS: I love the little hop the Spark does when you take a shallow focus picture ;)

Thank you, Fractal_CZ! Have fun trying out Shallow Focus. I'm enjoying the photos that it can produce.

Thank you, Brambleman! I'm glad I included the side by side shots.  They really help show off what Shallow Focus is capable of.

The hop is pretty cool when the Spark takes the shot.  It's like it's jumping for joy. LOL!

Earlier someone mentioned the number of shots that are taken during a Shallow Focus capture.  15 in total. The first shot is the 1080p resolution that is the base image.  Then 14 shots taken as the Spark hops up.  These 14 are of a smaller resolution and help determine the foreground elements from the background.

Thank you, Bing Err! I've enjoyed messing about with Shallow Focus.  I'd like to try some scenes with non-human subjects in the foreground and background.  Perhaps architectural or nature/landscapes with distinct foreground/background features.  I imagine the distance from the camera couldn't be too great since the "hop" is only a foot or so when the Spark shoots a Shallow Focus photo.  On a distant subject, this likely wouldn't generate enough of a perspective shift to be useful. However, if there were items in the near field of view, that might look cool.  More things to experiment with.  Please do share your photos if you can.  I'd look forward to seeing them.
