1. Depth of Field The area of Focus

2. 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

4. Great Depth of Field

5. 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

6. 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
