Depth Of Field
On a recent trip to Rhodes, I finally got a chance to experiment with the Depth of Field settings on the 350D.
Here’s a shot of Rhodes Old Town (a world-heritage site) with a reasonably high depth of field, so that as much of the image as possible is in focus. To increase the depth of field, the aperture had to be reduced by increasing the lens’ f-number. This reduces the amount of light entering the camera, but still gives a clear shot on a bright day like this.
In contrast here’s a a shot of the old fortifications by the marina, taken through a crevice. I’ve opened up the aperture to decrease the depth of field, so that the fortifications are in focus but not the crevice.
And here’s a dog that looked bored…
