Depth of Field
What is deep DOF?
A deep depth of field is when the image is fully clear and in focus and a shallow depth of field has one vocal point and the background of the image becomes blurry or unfocused.What aperture gives you deep DOF?
For a deep depth of field you need to be around f/16. |
| Metadata: F/5.6 1/400 ISO 400 - This is a shallow D.O.F. I can tell this because the background is out of focus. |
 |
| Metadata: F/8.0 1/320 ISO 400 |
 |
| Metadata: F/25 1/15 ISO 100 - This is a deep D.O.F everything is quality in focus and has a F-stop of F/25 |
 |
| Metadata: F/4.0 1/500 ISO 100 - This is a shallow D.O.F more of the focus is on the plant in this picture it is easier to see once enlarged and because the F-stop is f/4.0. This is not a good example unless enlarged. |
My focus in these pictures was incorrectly on the bush in front of me instead of the subject so you cant see clearly the depth of field. If I were to try this exercise again I would choose a better area to take my picture and increase the fstop on the second image to get a smaller aperture and a greater depth of field.
 |
| Metadata: F/22.0 1/8 ISO 100 - This is a deep depth of field because it has a high F-stop of F/22.0 |
 |
| Metadata: F/9.0 1/50 ISO 100 - This is a shallow D.O.F because it has a low F-stop of F/9.0 |
