Depth of Field

Depth of field increases with distance. The farther you place the camera from your subject, the more depth of field you can obtain. Landscapes have great depth of field, while macro photographs tend to have very little depth of field because the subject is so close to the lens.

Shallow Depth of Field (Foreground in Crisp Focus and Background is Fuzzy / Out of Focus) Low Aperture (F 2-5.6)

The dragonfly in picture 1 has been isolated from its chaotic surroundings by using shallow depth of field. By using shallow depth of field the distracting background is blurred and only the dragonfly appears sharp. Viewers eyes concentrate first on the sharp areas of the photo and so the dragonfly gets all the attention.

Extended Depth of Field (Background is in Crisp Focus) Higher Aperture (F – Stop) – F 16 or above)

Usually it is good for landscape photos if all parts of the image appear sharp. There is usually no need to isolate elements by utilizing the depth of field in the landscape photos. All around sharp photo can be achieved by using large depth of field.

Shallow depth of field- 3 photos Extended depth of field- 3 photos You will choose one final photo from each. Consider: Subject matter Camera settings

Take at least 2 photos showing texture, and 2 photos showing pattern. You will select one final photo for each. Consider: Where do we see patterns in nature? In the everyday? How will light effect my image? What camera settings can I use to achieve the best image?

Definitions: Pattern: planned or random repetitions. Pattern increases visual excitement. Texture: refers to surface quality, tactile Visual texture is the illusion of having physical texture

Final Images You will turn in: 1 Rule of Thirds 1 Line 1 Bird’s Eye View, 1 Worm’s Eye 1 Extended Depth of Field, 1 Shallow 1 Pattern, 1 Texture 8 Photos Total! *At least 2 photos in black and white mode- you choose

Unit 1 Reflection *What makes an image compelling? *What challenges did you encounter? *How can point of view influence an image? *What subject matter/ ideas would you like to pursue in future projects?
