Depth Of Field example.

Playing with animations and thought I would post this visual example showing the effect of f-stop settings on a static scene.

 

APS-C sensor - 30mm lens.

 

Oh....Merry Christmas too!

Good Job...;)

Dave, are you sure it was the f-stop settings, or had you opened one of those little bottles? :p

Hey! I resemble that remark!

I will drink to that, well done, excellent example in a few words.

We attended some of the photo lectures presented by the "Platinum" portrait photographers aboard Sapphire Princess. One of their cheat sheets had a neat simple reminder: f/2 means 2 things in focus, f/22 means 22 things in focus.

 

Of course, wide lenses have more DoF natively (and conversely telephoto/long lenses have less DoF natively), and a higher ratio of camera-subject:camera-background distance also enhances the DoF.

Nice example...It would have been funny if you removed one of the little bottles for the last shot.

Thanks for the visual example Dave (pierces). It's very helpful to a novice, such as myself.

 

Peety3 - thanks for passing along your tip from the photo lecture. I've been having trouble remembering if I want to use a higher or lower f-stop. This clarifies it well!

I love low depth of field. The lights in the background are gorgeous. Very well done.

I absolutely live the low depth of field with the lights in the background. Very well done.
