JOURNAL #2 – **//Low depth of field / High depth of field//** A loss of sharpness in the background is what we call background simplified. This is done by lowering what we call “depth of field”. Your picture choices should have a lack of focus or look soft and blurry in the background. When a photograph is detailed and both the background and the foreground are in focus, it is called a high **“depth of field“.** We can adjust the depth of field by changing the **“f - stop”** on our camera exposures. The higher f stop = higher depth of field and visa versa. Find 6 pictures for your journal; a combination of still life, portraits, cityscapes, and landscapes that have 3 images with low depth of field and 3 images with a high depth of field.
