Still Life

The depth of field of a photograph controls how much of the picture is in focus. With a large depth of field, the picture's background is in focus. With a shallow depth of field, only the main subject will be in focus. This can enhance how prominent the focus of your picture is. The three factors that affect the depth of field are aperture, subject to camera distance and the focal length of the lens. A shallow depth of field worked best for my still life photos, because it ensured that the viewers focus was on my subject rather than the subject.
