Depth of Field The area of Focus

Definition-the area, other than the subject, that is in focus. Great Depth of Field Most everything in focus When everything is important Use a small aperture like f-16 Shallow Depth of Field Only part of image in focus To avoid mergers and busy backgrounds To isolate the subject Use a large aperture like 2.8

Shallow Depth of Field

Great Depth of Field

How to Control Depth of Field Aperture-smaller opening gives greater depth of field Distance from camera to subject-closer to the subject less area of focus Focal length-( lens size) longer focal length decreases the depth of field

Still Life with Eggs Use odd numbers Break up negative space Avoid cute or silly ideas Use natural light Watch the camera angle Try an objective and a non-objective approach Objective-known recognizable objects Non-objective-not objects; just shapes

Assignment Set up a still life with eggs Set the lighting Shoot with a small aperture opening (f-16) to get great depth of field Plan the composition : Focal point-use the rule of thirds Balance of positive and negative space
