Depth Definition

Focus range or effective focus range, is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.

The object in focus whilst the surroundings are blurred.

Depth Work Diary

In todays lesson we carried on with  depth. We had the opportunity to go into town instead of staying in the studio & take some photos.
I found it hard to find things around that had any meaning of depth to me personally, or that ha depth within itself. However I managed to find a few things that I liked.

Here is a photo I liked

I really like this photo because you can see the cracks in the road. You can see the turmoil and ups and downs. You can see different components that make up the ground we walk on.

Here is the edited photo of this.

My edited version has the theme of blue specks and blue blurred backgrounds.

Here is a photo I did not like.

I do not like this photo because the view seems dull and unappealing. I also do not like it because you cans ee the flash reflection in the automatic doors. 

Whilst doing depth, as I mentioned earlier, you can find depth in something personal to you. Something, or in this case someone personal to me was with me whilst taking photos. A friend of mine was taking a photo of something and whilst I watched her do this, I thought she looked naturally in her set. So I took  candid photo - this was suppose to be just for her but then I found that I actually quite liked them. I then had the idea of the quote "A masterpiece taking a photo of art." I decided that if I could, I would photoshop her into seemingly taking a photo of art or something aesthetically pleasing. Here are my results:

This first one, I photoshopped my friend into sitting at the end of the pier taking a photo of the sun or water. I liked the idea but it was harder to put into real life. I think it would be better if she blended in a little more.

This was another attempt at placing her inside a temple sort of building I think it works quite well, it genuinely looks like she is sitting down, however I think her body proportion needed to have been a little bigger.







Lastly, this is the same as above, however I noticed after that the shadows caste would have put her shadow on the ground also. So I manipulated the figure into looking dark and washed into the ground, It was hard trying to find where the shadow would actually have been caste, however I think it turned out okay. I would have liked the shadow to be blank with no detail but that was hard to do.

Depth Straight Images

I like this photo because you can see outside from two different views. However the depth is in the middle of the black pane.

I really like this photo and how it shows the intricate details of the trees bark. The minimal details that could be missed but now it in clear view. 

I also like this photo because it gives me the feeling of freedom. Something about up high and no restrictions allows me to feel some sort of invincible way. You can see the depth in the sand below, our feet are in focus yet not detailed. It shows we can be invisible, and hide away.

I really like this photo because you can see the cracks in the road. You can see the turmoil and ups and downs. You can see different components that make up the ground we walk on.

This is a photo of the Christmas tree in town. I got up close in hopes of getting a photo up close, trying to capture the tip. I think depth is showed in the individual petals and the contrast of the green against negative space.

Depth Image Bank

 I like this photograph because of the way that  the image goes up. It is like the building are in a bend and the boy foot is creeping into focus. 

This photo is a really good one and the focus is on the womans feet. I like this because of the way it represents calmness and tranquility. 

This photo is very clever as the focus iso n the glass, however, the attraction is still shown  in the  wine glass reflection.

This photo is also a good representation of childhood. The little girl is laying on the ground and she is in focus, representing her being in her own world.

This photo is good as the focus is the skateboard whilst the shadow is present yet the jumper is not in the shot.
