Depth of Field

Our second photography assignment was on depth of field.

In the words of my instructor, depth of field is the portion of the scene that appears sharp in the image. It is the range of distance within the subject that is acceptably sharp. The depth of field varies depending on lens, focusing distance, and aperture setting. The depth of field does not abruptly change from sharp to un-sharp, but instead occurs as a gradual transition. In fact, everything immediately in front of or in back of the focusing point begins to lose sharpness – even if this is not perceived by our eyes or by the resolution of the camera.
