Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of using a shallow depth of field in composition?
Correct Answer: A shallow depth of field blurs the background while keeping the subject in focus.
  • Step 1: Understand what depth of field means. It refers to how much of the image is in focus.
  • Step 2: Learn about shallow depth of field. This means only a small part of the image is in focus, while the rest is blurry.
  • Step 3: Identify the subject in your photo. This is the main thing you want people to notice.
  • Step 4: When you use a shallow depth of field, the background becomes blurry.
  • Step 5: This blurriness helps to isolate the subject, making it stand out more.
  • Step 6: As a result, viewers' attention is drawn to the subject rather than the background.
