GRA 2330 Digital Photography Spr2014 Thurs

Shallow depth of field –

In order to get this photo, we got very close to the subject with the aperture at f5.6  which let more light in, making the depth of field shallow so that only one of the chess pieces was left sharp and the others are out of focus.

Extensive depth of field –

In order to take this photo, unlike the previous one, we moved away from the subject and had the aperture set at f22 so that all of the image is in focus.

this image shows very good DOF. the foreground is blurred, the mask is very clear and sharp and the background is blurred. Also the expression on the models face sells the image.

I like these photos ( the left is the shallow DOF and the right is Extensive DOF) because the left is sharper on the object than the background. the right photo is sorta sharp all around. we got close in both photos but we focus more on the object on left and leave the focus alone on the right photo.

This photo is an example of shallow depth of field. In order for us to get this picture, we had to have a background to compare the mask to it. It had to show the sharpness of the mask and the background had to be blurry. If there was no background, then you wouldn’t see that it was a shallow depth of field picture.

This was the best example of extensive depth of field that we took. It was really difficult to take a shot showing an example of extensive depth of field. But in this shot, we had to make everything from the subject to the background really sharp. There wasn’t really any distance in this photo but it was enough to show an example of an extensive depth of field.

In the photo there is an extensive depth of field. The F-stop is at 5.6 with the shutter speed at 1/4 of a second and the ISO at 100. Another interesting point of the image is the fact i was able to get a reflection of the sneaker.
