Depth Of Field TE Work Diary

In todays lesson we were assigned the task to take pictures with Depth of field and wide depth of field. We done this in the studio using objects and students as our focus.
I had trouble with my camera as it kept failing to focus, so in the end I had to borrow one of my friends and take the photos. It was hard to try and get the right focus however I did enjoy it.
I found it difficult to grasp the different depth of field concepts at first but after going over it, it was ok.

Here is a photo I liked.

I like this photo because the main focus is the eyes and tip of the camera. I find that not the whole face nor the whole camera is in focus but, rather half and half. We are looking at two different things combining instead of one simple.

Here is the photo I liked edited.

To do this, I selected around the body, going into hue & saturation. Then i clicked Colourise, then started to mess around with the levels.

Here is a photo I did not like.

I did not like this photo because the Image is completely out of focus. Neither camera or girl is in focus.

Progression

Next time I think I would like to try using more creative inspirations. My favourite type of photography is defiantly taking photos of people. I like the natural beauty we hold and how we can be o oblivious to our beauty. I would like to go somewhere that has simple but beautiful backgrounds allowing my soul focus to be on the person I am capturing.
I will also need to understand Aperture and Fstop more. In order to understand I will revise it over.
Here are some examples of things I'd like to try.
