Week 2- Aperture

f/22      1/25     ISO100

This is a wide depth of field photograph (High F stop). It doesn't do much for me because the focal point should have been the Lift+ can but instead I'm more drawn to the cars in the background. If I was photographing a landscape I would use a wide depth of field but if you are trying to focus on only one thing its best to use a narrow depth of field ( Low F stop)

This photo shows narrow depth of field, I really like this photo it gives me a sense of 'Peace' just with the way she has her eyes closed. I believe this photo would not have been as 'Peaceful' if the background was in focus as well because there would have been so much going on in the photo for you to focus on her face and her relaxed body language.

Personally I love both these images. The Narrow depth of field I found really affective with Portraits because then the subject is what you focus on. If I used a wide depth of field for the photograph of Roxy the golden retriever I feel she would have blended in with the leaves in the background because of the similar colouring, but because i used a narrow depth of field she stands out.
