Day 7's assignment and Day 15

Back on Day 7 Darcy talked about Tackling Depth of Field.  This was a photo assignment day and when I went to do the assignment I was unhappy with any of my photos which turned out to be a good thing because I definitely learned a few things from my mistakes.  Today I tried again and the lighting isn't great because I took these photos inside but they serve the purpose of showing how depth of field changes with aperture changes.  I took the whole spectrum of aperture options on my camera and then picked 3 to show the differences.

One with a wider aperture opening:

 One from around the middle:




One with a smaller aperture opening:


As you can see from the pictures that the chair in the background is blurry with the wide open aperture and much clearer with the smaller opening.  As I said I know the pictures themselves are not very good because of the lighting but I wanted to use my SOOC pictures to show the assignment and these work for that.  I have simplified depth of field here because Darcy did a fabulous job of explaining it here.  Go check it out.

Day 15 is another reading assignment this time the topic is histograms.
