Depth Of Field

What is Depth of Field?
-What is aperture and what does it have to do with Depth of Field?  

An aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels. More specifically, the aperture and focal length of an optical system determine the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane. The depth of field is determined by focal length, distance to subject, the acceptable circle of confusion size, and aperture.
-What is shallow Depth of Field?  Are there other acceptable terms than 'shallow'?  Means a smaller range of focus. ... Therefore, a shallow DOFis good for close ups of faces and creating a sense of intimacy around the focal point within your shot.
-What is deep Depth of Field?  Are there other acceptable terms than 'deep'?

To achieve a very deep depth-of-field, you need an aperture setting of f/16 or smaller. Keep in mind that the focal length of your lens also affects depth-of-field.
-What can you do with your camera to create shallow or deep DOF? 

The bigger the aperturethe more shallow your depth of fieldThe easiest way to do this is to set your camera to Aperture Priority, and then dial in the aperture value you want--the camera willautomatically respond with the right shutter speed.

 Shallow Depth Of Field
Deep Depth Of Field
While capturing these images I tried to find a background with more going on, I found it was easier to get the focus on one object when there was many objects in the photo. My favorite image is the Shallow Depth Of Field. It's my favorite because it shows the object in focus very clearly.
