Use a combination of small apertures and wide lens to take a number of photographs exploring deep depth of field. Because of the small apertures you’ll be working with slow shutter speeds and may need to use a tripod or rest the camera on a stable surface to prevent ‘camera shake’ at low ISOs. Add one or two unedited sequences, together with relevant shooting data and an indication of your selects, to your learning log.
All these images were taken using a Canon EOS 5D mark IV with a 24mm-70mm telephoto lens, the camera was set on aperture priority.
For the first image above, I set the aperture to F/16 using a focal distance of 35mm, this made the shutter speed 1/6s which is very slow, so I had to ensure that the camera was stable before taking the photograph. I did accomplish the deep depth of field as required by the brief.
For the second image above, I altered the aperture to F/22 using the same focal distance of 35mm, and again I achieved the deep depth of field, however the shutter speed was 1/4s which again was very slow.
For the two images above, I set the aperture to F/22 using a focal distance of 24mm, this made the shutter speed 1/4s which is very slow, however I did accomplish the deep depth of field.
