Depth of Field (DOF) Practice


f5.6, ISO 800, 55mm, shutter speed 1/60

f5.6, ISO 800, 55mm, shutter speed 1/500


f 4.5, ISO 800, 32mm, shutter speed 1/60

none of these picture have been doctored, my focus was her face then her front foot, I left my WB on Auto, matrix-metering, shot in P-mode on my camera

I like the last picture the best because the shutter was slow enough that both her face and foot are well lit, also I like that her face is a little blurry but not indistinguishable. It looks more on purpose to me.

Bare with me, I got a new camera for Mother's Day (early) and am still reading the manual, but I couldn't help just playing around with it and probably took at least 60 shots of Miss C that night playing around!
