The depth of field in a photograph, can look very creative, if it is put into place right, if the right circle of confusion is used, then the photo will be one to be proud of. It is important to create the effect of depth of field, so that your main focus is on one thing, rather than having a really busy background, it is more blurred out so our eyes are mainly on one thing, eg. here our eyes are on Cinderella, and the background has a slight blurred effect to it.
I think that this is a good example of depth of field, because our main focus is Cinderella, however the background is blurred, but not enough that we can't see the disney castle, and the steps and her glass slipper.
DEFINITION: Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and furthest away object in the photograph, the nearest object is often the main object and is clear and sharp, and the furthest away object is often the background, which appears blurry, but still able to be seen.
FACTUAL: This photograph is by Annie Leibovitz, this is a photo of a re-created famous scene from an all time favorite Disney movie 'Cinderella'.
CONTEXT: This is a photo of Scarlet Johansson, in the photo we can see that Cinderella is wearing a very glamours dress, jut like some of Annie's other photo's of beautiful women.
TECHNICAL: I think that this photo was photo shopped, and that in fact Annie took a picture of Cinderella (Scarlet) and then added the background in, because the background seems more of a animation, and the whole affect of the bright but blurred, was probably created on the computer, but adding in real features to still make it look as stunning as it does.
AESTHETIC: I like this photo because of the animation affect it has too it, mixed in the the depth of field, it looks really amazing. I like how the steps seem to go on for ever, and then you get this amazingly created castle, that is blurred but we can still see how beautiful it is. I also like this photo, because it is a part of Disney, and our eyes are on Cinderella, however we still can't help but notice the glass slipper on the stairs, or the tree's in the background, and not forgetting Cinderella's castle.
Understanding depth of field is hard, but using the link below i found out some great information, and now this photo has helped me relies how amazing it can look if you get it right.
