Depth of Field


During this photo shoot Brian and I went to Riverfront Park to work on adjusting the aperture of our shots for the first time. I used the lowest aperture setting the camera allowed at F5. This setting helped in adjusting the contrast of the green background appear more faded like the dead stick we see in focus.



Capturing this shot of the bush about three feet away along with the lake, extending to the trees in the background required a much higher aperture. I used one of the higher settings, F32 allowing a broader depth of field. You will find this setting useful when shooting landscapes, especially if shooting on the ground with some plant life in close view.
