Depth of Field Image Bank

The first image that I looked at for depth of field highlights how you can focus on one individual subject within a photo that has more than one subject in it.  I think that this particular photo shows really well the type of depth of field that you can get and also the most common.  When you want to focus in on one subject like in this photo, the best way to do it, is to literally make everything else fade out around it which I think this photographer has managed to do really well. 

The second image shows how you can focus on one particular feature on an individual subject.  Like in this picture, the photographer has focused on the cats head but also has the rest of its body in the shot.  I think that this is effective if you want to do a close up of a face like this photographer has done, but I think it works especially well on human features, such as eyes and mouths. 

The third picture I really liked because of the background that the photographer has created. I think that the gradual depth of field works really well in this picture because it brings the attention straight to the subject in the image, but it also allows you to take notice of the surrounding areas without being completely drawn away from the main subject.  I think that when I come to do my subject of multiple image I would like to experiment with this type of depth of field maybe creating a multiple image where the depth of field gets smaller.

The fourth image shows how you can use a very wide depth of field in order to capture a vast landscape.  I think that this type of depth of field works best when you are capturing landscapes because you can fit everything in that you can see, rather than focusing on one particular area.  I am going to use this method when it comes to capturing multiple imagery because I think it would be nice to make a multiple imager made up of landscapes.  I may even experiment with multiple exposures and this feature.

The fifth image shows a very deep depth of field where there is clearly a main subject and nothing should really take away from that.  The way that the photographer has put so much emphasis on the subject works really well and I would like to attempt something this advanced when it comes to photographing individual things.  I really like this image and everything that is in it.

The final image is a lot like the fourth, showing a wide depth of field to capture every inch of the photographers landscape.  I think that this photos shows exactly what I mean when I saw that wide depth of fields are perfect for taking photos of landscapes because everything stays in focus and you can see everything clearly because everything is just as important as the area next to it.
