Rules of Composition

-choose our composition carefully to conveys the sense of depth that was present in the actual scene. You can create depth in a photo by including objects in the foreground, middle ground and background. Another useful composition technique is overlapping, where you deliberately partially obscure one object with another.

What makes this picture good?

-beautiful lighting and depth

How can this be improved?

its too perfect to be improved :P

better defined clouds :P

Both in Focus

Sweet Retreat's Mini Size

ƒ/5.3 at 1/500. I like this one because of the color contrast, the lights and shadows. The flowers were closer to the camera but I was able to focus on the flower bud and the buds only. Everything else was blurred.

Playing around with my new 50mm 1.4 lens...

In this picture I changed my shutter speed in order to get a clear picture of the water as it was falling

The depth of field in this photograph is very narrow. I took this picture at Castle Rock State Park. I was experimenting with very close up photographs, trying to get the camera as close to the subject as possible. This is a photograph of moss on a rock. Because the photo was taken so close to the subject, the image is very abstract.

The closest part of the sofa in the foreground is in focus, closer to the viewer, while the unfocused background of the picture shows the depth the couch is reaching into.

Great photography is about depth of feeling, not depth of field. - Peter Adams

You get the idea of what I'm after here. How well it works I'm not sure. I don't think the lighting was quite right but this was shot yesterday evening on a very brief walk - brief because I was incredibly tired. So I've tried to make the best of the situation :-)

Give the large view a go.

The reason why I like this picture because I like the angle of this flower. The brightness is just all right and my Canon 50mm F 1.8 did a great job on the depth of field.

Depth of Field

We can't do anything about the length of our life, but we can do something about its width and depth...

this is my favorite photo that is why i chose it.

Another motion shot.

I posted this photo as I was experimenting with the Fstop in order to get more/less detail in regards to the perspective. In this photo I found that I got more detail in the perspective.

In regards to my photos for Assignment 3, I took my husband and daughter to the park in Emeryville to get the motion pictures. For the depth, I decided to grab some items that didn't exactly have any meaning and put them together. In this case it was drawing figurines and cleaning supplies.
