Depth of Field
is the process of limiting the focal length of the camera lens in order to keep some parts of image in focus and others blurred. A camera's depth of field is increased or decreased by adjusting the aperture (also called f-stop). Larger aperture (smaller f-stop number) and closer focal distance creates a shallower depth of field. In other words, objects closest to the camera will be in sharp focus while things will gradually blur as they go into the distance.

As always make sure you are considering light, composition. Move the camera and take lots of frames. Look at your photos and think between frames.
Use depth of field to emphasize a subject using the following ideas:
1. Shoot a series of two or three photos of the same object with the emphasis area changed with the depth of field. Example: a flower with the greenery out of focus and the flower in focus and the same composition with the greenery in focus and the flower out of focus.
2. Create an emphasis by making your main subject out of focus.
3. Create an emphasis by making your main subject focused and your back ground out of focus
4. Create a photo that shows focus on a subject in middle ground with the back ground and foreground out of focus.
