Depth of field is when you want the subject to be focused on, sharp and make the background blurry. It is also when how much of the picture you choose to have in focus, because you might think I don’t want this thing in my background. You can also sharpen the background to give the picture attention. Depth of field is an attention seeker because you can force the viewer to look at a specific object. With the soft background, the depth of field is about two or three inches deep. Depth of field is controlled by changing the aperture setting on your camera, which is measured using a scale of f-stops. The larger the aperture, the shallower your depth of field will be, blurry, the smaller, the deeper your depth of field will be, good. Shallow depth of field focuses on the main subject, mostly used to separate a subject from a busy background. A deep depth of field is when you have the subject and background in focus, mostly used photographing landscapes. To have a very shallow depth of field you need to have a low aperture like f5.6, and a long lens and you need to be close to the subject.
