1. Aperture & Depth of Field Unit

2. Depth of Field The Depth of Field in a photograph is the amount of distance between the nearest and the farthest objects that appear sharp in focus. ShallowDeep

3. Depth of Field Use a shallow depth of field to enhance your subject

4. Depth of Field Use a deep depth of field to show off distance

5. Aperture The aperture is size of the opening in the lens. This opening is called the diaphragm. Openings are measured in ‘f-stops’.

6. Aperture As the ‘f-stop’ number gets smaller (eg f/2) the opening inside the lens gets bigger.

7. Aperture & Depth of Field SHALLOWDEEP The smaller the F-stop, the shallower the depth of field. Remember this like a pool: the lower the number, the shallower the water.

8. Aperture & Depth of Field Aperture Setting

9. Task 1. – Aperture Aperture Priority Setting your camera to Aperture Priority (AV), take 2 images in this classroom. 1.Shallow Depth of Field (small f-stop) 2.Deep Depth of Field (large f-stop)

10. Task 2. – Aperture Create a page in your sketchbook about Aperture. Your page must have: Title What is aperture? How is it measured? Diagram showing the changes inside the lens.

11. Task 3. – Depth of Field Create a page in your sketchbook about Depth of Field. Your page must have: Title What is Depth of Field? Examples from the internet of shallow and deep Examples you have taken (with f-stop).
