Depth of Field & Field Trip
I have continued to experiment with this technique
of depth of field on my personal field trip to the Arundal countryside, by exploring the area that the camera captures using both
wide and narrow depth of field. There are two main techniques surrounding depth
of field - capturing a wide or narrow depth of field, or with regard to
landscape photography an extensive depth of field is used to keep the majority
of the photograph in focus and looking sharp.
Evidence of 'Shallow Depth of Field' -
This particular photograph I have captured holds a
shallow/narrow depth of field, with the narrow area of the small buds of
flowers appearing sharp and the most focused point of the entire photograph.
The rest of the background and surrounding areas behind the flower buds are all
blurred out and out of focus completely, allowing the front of the photograph
to be focused and the focal point of the image.
Evidence of 'Deep Depth of Field' -
These two photographs below both display a
deep/wide depth of field, with more of the image appearing sharp. Images
displaying a wide depth of field do not necessarily have the whole image in
focus but have a higher percentage of the photograph in focus. For example,
within this first image the flower buds are in focus and appear sharp, but also
the surrounding green leaves also appear sharp around the buds. Though as the
images gazes out further to the surrounding edges of the photograph, the leaves
begin to blurred and out of focus.
