Depth of Field

Av mode, ISO 400, 1/320 sec, f/5.6, 55 mm

 

AV mode, ISO 400, 1/60 sec, f/16, 18mm

 

 

I guess that this photograph aperture is at f/5.6, the lens mm is at 55mm, and the shutter speed is at 1/500.

I think this photographs aperture is at f/11, the lens mm is at 18mm, and the shutter speed is at 1/125.

Depth of Field is when the photographer focuses on a subject and the background or other subjects are blurred out. There are two types of depth of fields there’s shallow or good.  Good depth of field is when there is focus on everything so the whole picture is visible. Shallow depth of field is when it focuses on one subject and blurs out the rest of the picture. One example of good depth of field is the mountain photo and one good photo of shallow depth of field is the flower photo.

The two different types of depth of field use different types of settings. The shallow depth of field’s has a focal length of 55mm, the mode should be set at AV, the aperture is set at f5.6., and the shutter speed should not be below 1/60th of a second. The good depth of field has a focal length of 18mm, the mode should also be set on AV, the aperture is set at f16, and the shutter speed should also not be below 1/60th of a second. Both photos have to be different from each other because one is zoomed in and the other is zoomed out. Depth of field is a good subject to work on even though it might be tricky.
