Chapter 4 "EXPOSURE" Workshop

Depth of Field Exercise

I took this photo of some tree faces I have in my yard that will greet you as you drive in my driveway.

The Exercise wanted me to take photograph of subject, by using shallow depth of field so to extract it from its surroundings. I used a canon EOS dSLR Rebel XS, a Canon Lens EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS, Focal Length 65.0 mm.

Good job Bill. You've achieved a shallow depth of field on all of your shots. Just with that third one, there is a branch that is a little distracting - more a composition thing than anything else.

Thanks I appreciate it.
