Depth of Field for Jaime.

My girlfriend was wowed by some photos taken by an Olympus Pen EP-1. I was bemused while my D700 in the dry cabinet is probably feeling indignant. Front sharp, back blur, all interchangeable lens cameras can do that. It's called depth of field. When you use a larger aperture, say f1.4 or f1.8, the depth of field will be shallow. Front sharp, back blur; as you can see in the first photo below shot using a relatively large aperture of f2,



while the 2nd photo below, was shot with a small aperture of f11; everything in the frame is in focus.



There you go. Depth of field.
