SHALLOW Depth of Field *Use largest aperture – smallest f/stop # *Shoot in the shade – NO SUN! *Get close – 1-2 feet away *Use the Rule of Thirds
OPTION #1 • Take ALL Shallow DOF pics • Concentrate on ONE object • Use smallest aperture to make the rest of the photo out of focus
OPTION #2 Two photos of each subject ONE with SHALLOW DOF ONE with GREAT DOF
OPTION #3 • Two photos of each subject • ONE with SHALLOW DOF focused close to you • ONE with SHALLOW DOF • focused far from you
TIPS Use tripod or support if shutter speed is below 1/30 sec. Consider shooting both horizontal and vertical shots of each scene Check your focus- out of focus is not the same as Shallow DOF!
