Week 4, Assignment 4 : Depth of Field Safari

Capture and share five images demonstrating your ability to control depth of field to achieve desired photographic effects

The important point is that you should have a go at testing the theory and practise controlling depth of field as appropriate in your own images. You may wish to try some of these ideas:

 

• Close-up macro shots showing extremely narrow depths of field to pleasing effect.
• 
• Portrait or still-life shots with very narrow depths of field (it is fashionable in portrait photography to have, say, just the eyes in focus and the hair out of focus. This requires a large aperture.
• Landscape shots where you have maximised depth of field.
• 
• Sports action or wildlife shots with a narrow depth of field on the subject to give a pleasing composition.
• Replicating some of the images in the interactive camera.
