What is Depth of field and how is it used to receive a picture like it?
Depth of field is the amount of focus there is in a picture, between the nearest and farthest object. Depth of field is divided into two. Larger depth of field and shallow depth of field. Shallow is when the object you are taking a picture of is focused and the background is blurred and large is when everything is focused. Depth of field links into aperture. Aperture is the sort of ‘curtain’ in a camera lense which allows you to control how much light comes in. It's like your eyes. When there's too much light your eyes shut a little. A shallow depth of field allows you to look at one subject of the picture as the background or the object you are zoomed on, would be blurred to lessen the distraction. The closer your subject is to the camera, the shallower your depth of field becomes. Therefore, moving further away from your subject will larger your depth of field. An example of when you would want to use a larger depth of field would be if you chose to snap a photo of a landscape. You would prefer it to be focused on everything so the viewer can witness the scenery. A bigger lens for the aperture, you would set it to like f/2.8, f/2, f/1.4 etc. This will give you a narrower band of depth of field. To get a larger depth of field, you can just choose a smaller lens opening like f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22 to get sharp photograph this results it to everything being more focus. Large aperture = Small f-number = Shallow (small) depth of field Small aperture = Larger f-number = Deeper (larger) depth of field |
