LAYERS can lead us into a picture and help us navigate all
the different elements from which a photograph is made. For instance, sometimes
a landscape doesn't have an obvious centre of interest (the thing we are told
every photograph needs). LAYERING within the frame can act as the glue that
holds together and helps convey what we see and feel while standing in front on
a awesome scene.
Often this effect is achieved by having the focus recede so
that foreground elements are in sharp focus and then taper off the further we
go into the scene. This can be done by using CONTROLLED DEPTH OF FIELD and
choosing our place of prime focus carefully.
