4 Artistic Uses Of Aperture
In previous article I discussed how to control the DEPTH OF FIELD, and how aperture changes the focusing range. In this post I am going to give four tips on artistic uses of Aperture.
So let’s get started.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Long Depth Of Field for Landscape Photography” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:35|text_align:left|color:%23aa3300|line_height:1″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text]The first tip on Artistic Uses Of Aperture is about the great Depth Of Field. Usually, in Landscape photography, a photographer tries to capture as much of the scene as possible, and keep everything sharp and within focusing range. So the first artistic tip for landscape photography is using a higher f-stop, f11 or higher.
Higher f-stop creates a broader focusing range, which allows more objects in the scene to stay in focusing range.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”21893″ img_size=”600×400″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”slideInRight” title=”Wide focusing range for Landscape photography”][vc_column_text]
Depth Of Field for Group Portrait Photography
Unlike Landscape photography, in Group Portrait Photography, you do not need a very wide focusing range. The focusing range should be enough to cover all the people in the group (especially if they are in different rows), but not to bring the background and foreground to focus. The f5.6 or f8 will provide a medium focusing range.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”21095″ img_size=”600×400″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”slideInRight” title=”Medium focusing range for Group portrait photography”][vc_column_text]
Depth Of Field in Portrait Photography
Photographers use very shallow Depth Of Field to narrow down the focusing point just to the subject. F2.8 or lower creates a very shallow depth of field (Bokeh Effect), which makes the subject very sharp and the rest of the photo very soft.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”20553″ img_size=”600×800″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”slideInRight” title=”Shallow focusing range for Portrait Photography”][vc_column_text]
Depth Of Field In Macro Photography
Macro lenses, by nature, have a very shallow Depth of Field. The Depth Of Field is that shallow that when focusing on the tip of a flower petal, the end of it would be out of focus!. That is why photographers use f16 or higher in macro photography to provide as much focusing range as they can.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”23618″ img_size=”600×400″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”slideInRight” title=”Macro Photography”][vc_column_text]In our photography classes, I cover the Aperture and depth of field in detail.
