Depth of Field

Controlling depth of field with lower and higher f-stops (aperture) showed me how depth of field can both highlight something, set a subject in its context that adds interest, and/or create a forest of subjects if the subject is very similar. I'm posting two sets of pictures to illustrate this assignment "take away."

 Depth of Field That Singles out or Obscures the Subject - Dill Gone to Seed

Shallow Depth of Field - f6.3 at 1/500

Deep Depth of Filed - f36 at 1/25



 Depth of Field that Singles Out or Contextualizes the Subject - Fall Flowers

Shallow Depth of Field - f8 at 1/800


Deep Depth of Field - f29 at 1/100
