Depth of Field Photos

Photobucket

You capture's theme this week is depth of field... one thing I LOVE to play around with! Basically depth of field is the amount of the photo that is in focus. A photo of scenery will generally have a lot of the photo in focus, while other photos only have a little bit while the rest is blurry.



As you can see by the cardinal above, it adds depth to the photo.



Here, the focus is in the back... behind other branches.



This was a very narrow telescope at a playground... I focused on Mercy's eye looking through it. Generally the photo was not what I hoped, but I did get her eye in focus while the rest is blurry.


This photo has been posted before, but I just LOVE the narrow depth of field in it... it's one of my favorite photos, technically.

AMENDED: After playing with these photos I downloaded the photos from my camera and found some more... check them out here.

Head over to You Capture to see what other photos are taken!
