Okay, so i clicked a few pictures at home today to kind of prepare a tutorial on depth of field. The idea is to explain how the background becomes clear or unclear depending on the aperture you use. The depth of field not only depends on the f-number but also on the distance between the camera and the subject, and the subject and the background. In my example, I have a coffee mug in the foreground and a calendar on the wall in the background. Notice how the numbers on the calendar become clearer with smaller apertures (click the pictures to enlarge them).
Note: I used a tripod to take these pictures because as you decrease the aperture, the shutter speed increases, causing the camera to shake. I took these pictures with a 2 second self timer on the tripod.
f-number: 5 | |
