Focus at different apertures



 






This exercise was to show the effect of differing apertures on the same photograph.  Using my 50mm F1.8 allowed me to get a very shallow depth of field.  The three pictures were taken at:

F1.8

F9.5

F22

The depth of field is very narrow at 1.8 and it is definitely possible to see the difference between all three photographs.

The background is completely blurred in the first photo, but is visible in both the other two images, although the final image has the most detail in it.  the statue in the background is actually two frogs hugging (it belongs to my landlady!).  In the second image, it is quite difficult to distinguish what they are, but in the third it is definitely more obvious.
