Principes de base de la photographie : comprendre la profondeur de champ

Thanks for sharing these lovely photos. You've demonstrated a real mastery of using depth of field to create a sharp focal point to distinguish the subject from the background. For me, the most successful photos here are the spider on the web and the caterpillar on the tree because the entire subject is clearly in focus while the shallow depth of field eliminates background elements that may otherwise distract (especially that photo with the spider!) However, I'm wondering if the other two photos could have benefited from a slightly more closed aperture. For example, when I look at the dandelion photo, my eye wants to see more of the delicate seeds in the blowball (yes, I looked that term up) and with the bee, the areas most in focus seem to be its head and the nearest wing.  This is of course a personal decision, but maybe you'd like to experiment with the amount of depth of field you are using to include more of the subject while still using a relatively shallow depth of field to push the secondary elements back. Thanks again so much for sharing these photos, and I hope you found the class informative and helpful.

Hi!
I'd like to share my attempt to the subject of depth of field.
