TERM 2 - DEPTH /APERTURE
DEPTH OF FIELD/APERTURE
This photo resembles a shallow depth of field. The balloon in the foreground is in focus. The f-stop on the camera was set to f4.
Shallow depth of field is important to only focus on certain things we want to make more apparent in the photo (in this case, the balloon in the foreground). |
This photo is an example of Large Depth of Field. Everything in the photo is in focus and nothing is blurred. F-stop for this photo was 22. I think this photo is the strongest mostly because it is the most clearest quality.
We set up a still life using the birthday balloons and a hat. We used manual focus to focus all of the objects in this still life. Large depth of field is important in order to get all objects in focus. |
This is another example of shallow depth of field. The balloon in the background is more in focus. The photo was taken with a f-stop 4 setting.

DEPTH AND SPACE
When observing the photo, you get a sense of depth from the view of the houses in the background. An interesting foreground (the fence), middle ground (the field) and background (houses) is created. Since the bottom of the photograph has the interesting element of the fences it helps set the illusion of large depth of field and space.
|
This photo is very interesting since it sets up a sense of depth and space in all directions. The composition leads your eyes to the bowling pins on the other side of the room. The lines of the gutters (leading lines in this photo) also help to make the viewer feel a sense of space.
|
This photo is an example of framing since the branch (at the top) acts like a frame in the composition. This helps set the illusion to the viewer that there is space between the branch and the trees in the background.
