Depth of Field

For now, this blog is going to mainly consist of photography work I do for my class. If you are interested in seeing photos I do for fun, check out my photography on facebook!

Depth of field is a simple term in photography which refers to the amount of the photo that is in focus. Today was my first crack at intentional shallow depth of field (which means only a small portion of the photo is in focus). Here we go!
Here was my first practice. You can see where it is focused, and where the image is blurred :) This basic example of shallow depth of field will be repeated in all the photos today.

    Very cool how dramatic it makes even mundane things like your iPod dock.

    These are awesome, Arianne! I love the shallow depth of field. It's one of the main reasons that I bought my new camera. Unfortunately, I still don't really know how to make it do what I want. I'm just pleased when it happens to turn out well. :) Your pictures are fun. Good subject choices!
