16 Concepts in Photog raphy Aper ture The aperture is one of the three factors that determine the exposure .

17 Concepts in Photog raphy Aper ture value and the depth of eld Y ou can blur or sharpen the background of a photo by changing the size of the aper ture .

22 Concepts in Photog raphy Depth of eld The depth of eld (DOF) is the focused ar ea around the subject. In general, the DOF can be shallow or deep . In photos with a shallow DOF , the subject is sharply focused, the backgr ound is blurred and the subject stands out. In contrast, photos with a deep DOF hav e all the elements of the photo in s[...]

23 Concepts in Photog raphy DOF depends on focal length The longer the focal length, the shallo wer the DOF . A telescopic lens with a longer focal length will captur e a photo with a shallow DOF better than a lens with a shorter focal length.
