Depth of Field Work Diary

Evaluation of the Shoot

This shoot was probably one of my more favourite photoshoots because I think that there is a lot of variation that you can include.  You can either concentrate on deep depths of field or shallow depths of field and you can either concentrate on a small detail in the photograph or have the whole image to be in focus so that the attention is drawn to every aspect.  The images that I got show all of these different techniques and I think that every image that I got shows a different type of depth of field, which is what I wanted to get from the very beginning, to show just how much variety that you can encounter when looking at depth of field.



When I first took this image, I wasn't overly happy with it because I thought that it was too bland and simple looking.  However, when I got it back and onto the computer, i realised that the simplicity of the image actually works in its favour as I think that the simple leaf with the detailed but blurred background works together to create a really interesting picture.


I also really like this studio made depth of field image because I think that it is a clear indication of the progression that you can get in using various depth of field methods to get the best possible photo.  I think that the way I managed to capture each individual face, but still give the front subject the most focus has worked really well, especially seeing as the second subject has a slight blur and then the furthest subject has a complete blur over the face, however, we can still see what the person looks like.  This is one of the main reasons that I really like this image.

Idea Development

When it comes to shooting depth of field, I don't think that I would do much different to how I did it in this shoot because I think that I showed the amount of different shots that you can get using depth of field.  To make this shoot better however, I could maybe have more of a focus rather than photographing the first thing that comes to mind which is probably what I will do when it comes to photographing multiple imagery in my next topic.
