Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and furthest object in a scene that appears acceptably sharp in an image. This depends upon three things: aperture setting, focal length and distance between the camera and the subject. The DOF is determined by the camera-to-subject distance, the lens focal length, the lens f-number, and the format size or circle of confusion criterion. It is one of the most creative and profound effects available to photographers.
Examples of Shallow Depth of Field Photos
In cinematography, a large depth of fields is often called deep focus, and a small depth of field is often called shallow focus.
Here we are some amazing pictures using the shallow depth of field photography technique. Hope you will enjoy it!
