A#3-Depth of Field Photos

Assignment #3: Depth of Field

This is a picture of a pumpkin my older sister carved for Halloween. I took this picture for my short depth of field because I wanted to focus on the pumpkin so you could see the detail and I also liked the texture of the wood. My aperture for this picture was between 2.8 and 4 and my shutter speed was set at 500. I used these settings to allow for enough light to be let in in order to get my light meter centered in the middle and to be able to focus just on the pumpkin and blur out the background.

This is a picture of Jordan Lake in Cary, North Carolina. I took this picture for my long depth of field because I wanted everything to be in focus so you could still get the texture of the wood and trees and water in the background. I used an aperture of 11 for this picture and a shutter speed of 500. I wanted everything in the photo to be focused and clear with my light meter in the middle as well.
