Depth of Field


Wide Depth of Field
So I was supposed to take multiple pictures of the same subject using different depth of field, but none of my pictures turned out well enough to use. Instead I am using pictures from other shoots. This is an example of a wide depth of field. Everything is in focus, from the fence in the front to the trees in the back. I like how the fence is silhouetted against the sky. The sky is the main subject is the sky and the fence is the secondary.
Shutter: 1/320 - Aperture: f/11.1 - ISO: 100 - Focal Length: 8.8 mm


Medium Depth of Field
In this example of medium depth of field, the main subject is the railing of a spiral staircase. The secondary is the lines.
Shutter: 1/140 - Aperture: f/3.7 - ISO: 699 - Focal Length: 6.4 mm
Narrow Depth of Field

There is a very shallow depth of field in this shot. The main subject is some asparagus plants. I like how the focus is framed by the out of focus branches. The secondary subject is the shadows. 
Shutter: 1/640 - Aperture: f/5.2 - ISO: 100 - Focal Length: 17.1 mm

Another Narrow Depth of Field
I took this shot at a really old library. The books are the main subject and the cracks on the binding are the secondary. I like the symmetry of the books. This shot is a too overexposed.
Shutter: 1/21 - Aperture: f/4.5 - ISO: 800 - Focal Length: 15.1 mm
