Assignment 3: Depth of Field - Perou

Definition

Link
this is a very good definition because not only does it give the meaning of the term, but it gives examples as well. it covers most aspects of depth and field, and those that aren't are mentioned in the below slideshare.

Comments

this photo is a great example of depth of field, although it was very hard to find one as many of Perou's works are against a plain white background and only contain a subject. this photo has a small depth of field due to isolation and a very prominent background. it doesn't follow the rule in the slideshare, that using the rule of thirds, splits up the image into three rows for the background, centre and foreground. although the fire is in focus, I feel it is the main point of the picture due to the strong contrast with the pale sky and its dominant presence engulfing the majority of the background, demonstrating that being in focus doesn't mean it has to be the subject.
