Manip 101:Artificial Depth Of Field

Tue Aug 8, 2006, 4:44 PM
Depth of Field (DOF) is the distance in front of and behind the subject which appears to be in focus. DOF is generally achieved thru photography. Camera lens only foucus a certain distance on a subject, and things in the photo that are not the same distance away tend to be "soft" or "blurry" unless you have your camera set to avoid it. Read [link] for an understanding on how a camera does it. Therre you will find good examples of photos with DOF and without.

Artificial Depth Of Field is done in a photo manipulation quite easily and can be used to add DOF to any photograph/image. In "Oil Worth [link] " and "Cold Barb [link] " the backgrounds were blurred to look out of focus, this shifts attention to the canon and the barbwire in my example images and also gives them more of a "photo" look. This can be done with none photos aswell. I've seen cartoon animations where the background had been softened to help give the image more "depth." It's a very simple technique that can turn a average image into something breathtaking.

And in the heart of this autumn I fall,

Yes.. I was looking at someone elses gallery and saw one of your pieces in their favorites, loved it and checked out your gallery and was quite impressed. So I'm decided to stick you on my watch. I thought it was kinda cool that we live in the same city too.
