Photo technique: depth of field
August 4th 2009 18:28
Based on the lens, aperture and distance from the subject, shallow depth of field allows for a dramatic focal point in a photograph.

For those who would like to develop their understanding of depth of field and apertures I have included below some links to previous posts on photography tips

There are lots of other interesting posts with written explanations on this blog, start with the archives and pick out those posts which interest you, start October 2007 and work forward, the previous posts were not prepared by me.
And if you really want to improve your photography I am giving you the list of hubs again for those who missed that post or have subsequently lost it and for newcomers,too, of course
I have put together a list of all of my photography hubs - not in any particular order. You will learn much by working through them one by one, and preferably one at a time, which requires you to come back each time to do so.
Take the time to think about what you read and see and then think about your own photographs and how you can improve them.
Remember to take your camera with you, there are photographs out there just begging to be taken and in all kinds of weather and at different times of the day.
Those things will create different moods and different effects.
Enjoy yourself and happy clicking in more than one sense of the word. Meaning, clicking your cameras and clicking those links.
