Focus Control and Aperture

Manual focus = close ups and fine detail

Autofocus = general use

focal length

The focal length of a lens is the optical distance, which usually measured in mm, from the centre of a lensand its focus

this shows that changes from a very large aperture, which almost nothing in focus, to a very small aperture, with almost all in focus.

the depth of field is the difference between the closest and furthest objects such as in 18mm the edges are in focus and the 200mm is zoomed in on the middle where you can see a couple boats clearly.

aperture priority

22 – this is a very small aperture and a large depth of field

8 – this is in the middle, and a medium depth of field
2.8 – this is a large aperture, and a small depth of field

in each photo you can tell a clear difference from the first to the last one, the first one its mostly all in focus and the last one only the plane is in focus and the rest in blurry

Ralph Eugene Meatyard

Meatyard made his living as a optician, born in 1925 and died in 1976. he was a member of Lexington camera club, which he perused his passion of photography outside the mainstream. he experimented lots of different strategies including exposures, motion blur and more methods of photographic abstraction. two of this worked are concentrated in focus and depth of field, which of of this works stretched expressive photography, film and cameras when looking at a normal world.

these photos on them one wouldn’t look like anything special but grouped together, which shows human figures in another view

these photos show that a large aperture has been used when taking these, and that the focus in only in one area and rest is blurry. also these photos were inspired and formed by the artists deep study of zen Buddhism.
