Feeling 22 - Studies in Depth of Field

Photo by K. Palafox, 5th Period

Post your photo taken at f22. (You can find if your photo was taken at f22 by looking at the metadata tab in Aperture software.)


At f22, almost everything should be in focus, just like this 1950 Alfred Eisenstaedt photo. (Is it the happiest photo ever? Was it shot at f.22?)

This photo was shot at f2.2 by Bruno Arriaga, Photo 1 student, Period 1

At F2.2, the foreground is in focus and the background can become blurry, as seen in this photo above. (I am editing this post during the week when we study shutter speed, so the students now know that shutter speed also affects depth of field.)
