I’ve come a long way baby!\u00a0 That goPro photography workshop taught me basically everything I know about my new camera.\u00a0 Before this, I was a point and shoot camera kinda gal.<\/p>\n

I’m shooting in\u00a0manual and that right there is a very “big deal”.\u00a0 I’m also shooting in RAW instead of JPG.\u00a0 I feel like\u00a0a big girl now…<\/p>\n

ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed, DOF – Those are a few terms I knew very little about before the class.<\/p>\n

Today I want to share just a snippet\u00a0about depth of field (DOF).\u00a0 And aperture because DOF and aperture go hand in hand.<\/p>\n

The picture below is an example\u00a0with a very large\u00a0depth of field.\u00a0 Meaning pretty much everything you see is in focus.\u00a0 From the trees in the background to that large clay pot in the background.\u00a0 Again, everything in the pic is in focus = large depth of field.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0following shot\u00a0was taken in manual with a large\u00a0aperture setting of\u00a025 = A very\u00a0small opening.<\/p>\n

Reminder to self – The\u00a0larger the aperture setting = a\u00a0smaller opening for light.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Below is\u00a0an example of the extreme opposite.\u00a0 This would be a short depth of field meaning the subject is in focus and everything else is very blurred = short depth of field.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0following shots\u00a0were taken in manual with a very small\u00a0aperture setting of 4.5 = A very large opening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reminder to self – The smaller the aperture setting = a larger opening for light.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another example of a very short depth of field.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here my friends is my take on that pic above.\u00a0 Once again done in Lightroom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Practice ~ Practice ~ Practice…Those were the words Tyler used when I asked should I continue taking more classes.\u00a0 Thanks Tyler, I’m taking your advice to heart.\u00a0 I still have a long way to go.<\/p>\n
