This picture is a good example of depth of field because it focuses on the flowers and blurs out the fountain in the background. This required a low aperture.

I thought that the candles would look spectacular with the stained glass windows and the illuminated statue of Mary behind them.

I took this self portrait and chose to use it because it shows a decent depth of field but the lens wasn't completely open which gives the background a little bit more focus.

Maximum Depth of Field

Technical: f/16 shutter speed 1/100, focus on the end parking sign.

Composition: Shot at far range, maximum depth of field, eye level.

I liked the view of the road and the sand dunes, and the scale contrast between the people on the back and the sign.

Captured depth of the keyboard keys.

 

why it is a good photo

-all the subject are the exact size.

 

how can it be improve

-photo need to be more focus.

f-stop: f5.6

shutter speed: 1/125

 

For this photo, I posted it because unlike my other depth of field pictures, the subject (the flower) is so radiant and focused on that the viewer can't even tell what the background is. Interestingly, lighting from the sun played such a huge role that I was able to use a relatively low aperture to get such a focused image.

This photo was taken at f/2.8 with a 1/250 shutter speed. I would imagine setting a high shutter speed with a wide aperture would be ideal for a portrait where you want only the subject to be in focus with minimal foreground/background detail. At 7' I setup a water jug as my primary subject and in this image it is the only thing that is fully in detail.

I'd forgotten why I went to a DSLR until I tried to take some photos of the flowers in St. James' Park. The tiny sensors in point-and-shoot cameras give you almost infinite depth of field - even when you don't want it.

Batley & District Camera Club Every Day Objects Challenge

This is a nice picture that I took during the day. After taking this picture, I learned the power of the telephoto lens. It taught me how to capture the natural red color of the flower, as well as the natural green color of the stems. The focus was set at f/5.6, and the ISO was set at 800.

This is my orange plumeria I got from my home state, Hawaii. I like this depth of field shot because the color of the flower catches the viewer's attention immediately. Also, the shadow on the petals gives it a dramatic 3D look. Then, the blurry leaves stand as the divider or separator between the orange focal point and yellow background. Without the leaves, the color combination of orange on yellow will be too much.

This example of depth of field where the focused leaves in the front appear sharp, the leaves behind it appear slightly blurred, and the buildings in the far back are the most blurred.

im planning on entering a video productions contest this month, so i was out testing some video of the depth of field this lens has. so far i love the 1.4.

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.
