I chose to take this image focusing on the green leaf, showing how the technique can be used to bring it out of a background that's mostly green itself.

I had SO much fun discovering my camera this week I literally sat on the couch and went through every exposure value, ISO setting, photo style, contrast, sharpness, saturation level in every combination and zoom and moving forward and backwards I practiced on my foot I had about 120 pictures of my foot in all sorts of light and focus it was fun and I really feel like I got to know my camera we are becoming close friends although I have much more to learn.

I chose this macro photo to show depth of field I focused in on the center of the flower. I also took this right after the rain so the added water droplets made it look special.

Lesson 6: Aperture and Depth of Field

Picture taken with Nikon D5100 Camera, standard lens 18-105 mm, Manual Mode, f stop f8.0, shutter speed 1/250 sec. Focal length: 85mm. ISO-100, white balance: Auto, no flash.

This was taken after dark on 10/07/2011 with only the overhead porch light for a light source.

Shutter speed: 1/23 sec.

Aperture: F/3.1

Focal length: 5mm

ISO: 6400

I was having a hard time with shallow depth of field for some reason, so it took me all week... that's why it was done after dark! LOL

F8 SS 1/15 Shutter Speed experiment

I was demonstrating depth of field to a buddy of mine, and got this shot. I

really like the colors and feel of the photo, so I decided to upload it.

-Moderately blurry due to long exposure

This is a portrait of my sister! In this picture, she was standing about 4 feet away from me. I chose an appropriate aperture that focused on her face, but blurred everything else in the background.

Something the submarines don't like.

the packed snow in the yard is so deep we have three wide terraced stairs down into the verandah now ....

I posted this picture to show my experiments with depth of field. Here a wine bottle is blurry while the background to the right is in focus.

I chose this photo because I thought it showed the range of motion pretty well.

Another movement shot of a butterfly. This time it appears still.

Depth of Field with my EF 50mm f/1.8

These are photos from a trip to North Carolina I took around Christmas. A lovely place indeed.

The layering on this vase was quite lovely. The photograph, not so much, but I didn't want to throw it away for the subject matter.

'Swaying in the Wind" by Miyashita Zenji (1939-2012), late 80's

lots of background with noise reduction offers depth

depth of feild at 109mm, getting into to this technique and using more often everyday.

With my F8.0 (F-stop) and (Shutter Speed) 1/40 the two images where at first hard to take a photo of until I finally figured what I was doing wrong and my focus wasn't on anything. I decide to do the bunny at first but figured Nightwing (The toy in the back) was further away giving me the depth of field I was practicing for and Wonder Woman (The toy in the front) being my Foreground.
