Shallow DOF
Portraits, objects, things, nature, endless opportunity here.
Shoot wide open, use a telephoto, use a smartphone, however you achieve it, let's see your creativity!
A "shallow depth of field" in photography refers to a situation where only a small area or part of the image is in sharp focus, while the background and foreground become blurred. This effect isolates the main subject, creating a more selective focus and can be used to enhance a portrait, isolate a subject from distracting surroundings, or create a more dramatic effect.
Example: ƒ/2.8 | 1/100 | 125mm | ISO100
As always, standard rules apply:
