Learning about depth and field helped me expand my knowledge on the type of photos I can take and how what I focus on changes what the viewer is focusing on. When working with depth of field you can focus on the foreground or background while the part that is not being focused on is blurred out. You can change the depth of field of a photo by changing the camera's aperture. Learning about this prepared me to take pictures for my magazine that could be focused on the background or foreground.
Below is an example of the two types of depth of field:
Focused background Focused foreground
Lessons on photography helped me prepare to take photos for my magazine because I learned about so many different types of techniques that can be used for my photos such as
- Bird’s eye view (A photo with a view from above the subject)
- Worm’s eye view (A photo with a view from below the subject)
- Rule of thirds (Dividing and imagining into thrids and using two of those vertical and horizontal lines)
- Leading lines (A line that draws the viewers eye to a point of interest)
- Isolation (When all of the focus of an image is put to a subject)
- Using available light
- Framing (Drawing attention to something in a photo while blocking out other parts of the image with something else from the scene)
- Repetition (Repeating elements in an image)
Here are examples:
