In this study, we are going to work with our lens (manual setting) where we concentrate on the focus of an object but de-focusing objects around it, in order to draw attention specifically to a single item in a photograph. 

*Depth of field is the distance between the closest and farthest objects in a photo that appears acceptably sharp. Now your camera can only focus sharply at one point. But the transition from sharp to unsharp is gradual, and the term ‘acceptably sharp’ is a loose one!

However, if reading isn't your thing:  Watch this video instead.

Here are some examples:

Using manual settings, shoot at least 18 photographs (six sets of three photos) of different images (I do not want ten images, from different angles, under different lighting of the same Diet Coca-Cola can) where you've demonstrated Depth of Field 

1. Create a new folder in your “Digital Photography” folder and call it "Depth of Field" (this is where you will store your photographs for this assignment)
2. Set your camera to Manual setting (both on the Lens (M-A) and the Camera Mode Dial itself if your camera has it on there)

You will shoot six sets of photos with three photos per set. The sets will include photographs for NEAR, MIDDLE, and FAR Depth of Field. *Only one (of the six) sets can be shot inside of my classroom using my materials. 

Here are some examples. 

NEAR (saved as MidiController_Near)

MIDDLE (saved as MidiController_Middle)

FAR (saved as MidiController_Far)

Upload these images to your folder, appropriately named. 

Here is an example: 

Using the provided assessment sheet, identify your F-Stop, ISO, and Shutter Speed settings.
