Depth/ Depth of Field
The first photo is an example of leading lines for depth. To create this effect, I tried to capture the railing leading your eyes through the photo and by the assortment of other lines in the staircase. We had the camera set on A and used a small depth of field to try to get the entire shot in focus. The next four photos are examples of depth of field. The first two are a set, the first capturing everything in focus with a large depth of field, using an f-stop of 4; and the second is showing the same picture but the background is blurred using a shallow depth of field with an f-stop of 18. To create the next two photos, the pictures with the table and stairs in the background, used the same procedure as the two previous depth of field photos shown. For all four of these pictures, the camera was on the A setting to capture aperture. This next photograph is an example of framing, trying to use the door window as a inventive way to capture the action going on the in the next room and was shot using a large aperture to capture everything with little blur. The next photo is another example of framing, the shot I've frame is framing the stairway which is framing the doorway to the classroom. You could even go farther to say that the doorway is framing the windows in the classroom which is framing the white light from beyond the classroom. This was shot using a large depth of field, the create a minimum amount of blur in the photo. The last photo is a foreground, middleground, background picture; trying to capture all three areas in one photograph. To do this we place one person in the foreground of the picture, another in the middleground (on the stairs), and used the remaining stairs and hallway as a background. Our goal was to get both people to be in focus, but we were unsuccessful; even after trying to move the two people closer and fiddling with the f-stop value on the camera to create a larger or small depth of field.
