Depth of Field

What is depth of field?

Depth of field is the amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus in a photograph.

A large depth of field means that you will have a large area both in front or behind your main subject will appear sharp.  If you have a shallow depth of field implies that anything other than your main focused point will appear out of forces. If you use a small f-stop (F5.6) it will create a shallow depth of field. However if you use a larger f-stop (F22) it will create a greater depth of field. 

   

Here is my depth of field.
