Light: Activity 4

-Maximum Depth of Field

1. This photo takes advantage of maximum depth of field and uses it to its advantage so the entire photo, not just perhaps the flowers are in the photo. The photographer probably used a wide aperture to let in lots of light to get this light exposure.

2. This photo demonstrates maximum depth of field because everything in the frame is in the same level of focus. This works to the photos advantage because without any of these elements in the photo, the content would have suffered. The photographer may have used a large aperture to capture an exposure to capture more light in the fading light of the setting sun.

-Shallow Depth of Field

1. This photo uses shallow depth of field because one of the gnomes is farther in front and not in focus and the back gnome is in focus. It is also taken on a smaller scale. The photographer most likely used a smaller aperture because the photo looks like it was taken in mid afternoon.

2. In this picture, shallow depth of field is demonstrated because the Coke can in the middle is in focus while the others are not. The photographer most likely used an aperture appropriate for indoor settings because one can tell this picture was taken indoor.
