DOF is the portion of a scene that appears sharp in the image. Although a lens can precisely focus at only one distance, the decrease in sharpness is gradual on either side of the focused distance, so that within the DOF, the unsharpness is imperceptible under normal viewing conditions.
For some images, such as landscapes, a large DOF may be appropriate, while for others, such as portraits, a small DOF may be more effective.
Assignment
For your assignment, you are to have two images showcasing a good use of shallow depth of field, and two images that use a large depth of field. This assignment requires a total of four images.
All images should be taken between April 2nd and April 9th. The four final images should demonstrate your highest quality and not appear rushed. Images are encouraged to be taken outside of the home or other "usual" subjects. Images should also use strong rules of composition.
