• Find two examples of photographs, which make use of maximum depth of field, and two examples, which have very shallow depth of field.
• Describe how the photographer’s selective use of aperture affects the subject in each of the photographs you have chosen.

Great Depth of Field

Photograph by: Jim Zuckerman

In this photograph, the landscape shows great depth of field. This is created by using a very small aperture (large number) to let the camera have the sharpest focus on the details of the photograph.

In this photograph the urban landscape shows max depth of field with the buildings in extreme focus.

This is achieved the same as in the last picture through a small aperture. 

Shallow Depth of Field

Photograph by: Anthony Dudley

In this photograph with the ballet dancer we see that she is in focus but the background is blurred out, this is an example of shallow depth of field using a large aperture.

In this photograph we see the daisy in focus with the rest of the daisies blurred in the background. This final product is achieved through a large aperture(smaller numbers).
