The Depth of Field and Importance of Photography Classes #FreePhotos

Capturing a thought through your lens takes passion, talent and most of all, hard work. Putting in hard work requires a photographer to think beyond what other people think, see beyond what other people see and capture beyond what anyone has ever captured before. A picture in itself depicts an entire story.

Although the passion for photography comes naturally, taking photography workshops to enhance this passion and talent is always a good option. Your penchant for photography only increases with the new information being gathered. Photography courses humor to what a photographer's needs are and mimic them on a level so that you can very well apply them in your day to day practice. The methods followed in photography classes generate a different thought pattern in every student's head and therefore what follows is some amazing and unique pictures coming out.

Inspiration is the key to a successful shot and in photography classes you can find ample of it. With rising love for photography, different types of photography courses are now available.

Talking about the conviction of your shot, there is one concept that cannot be missed out on. The key skill possessed by professional photographers is the understanding of depth of field. A firm grasp on this, and you can work wonders with your images. With a thorough knowledge of this concept, the quality and the gravity of your work, both can increase substantially. Also, it gives the photographer an option to shoot the same subject with different alternatives. Initially, it seems confusing, but with regular practice, come enhanced shots and slowly it becomes second nature.

What exactly is depth of field?

It basically refers to how the objects related to the main subject of focus lose clarity. In an image of a flower for instance, if only the flower is focused and rest of the image is blurred, the viewer will have a different experience from what they will have when the rest of the background is also in focus. It is simply a relationship between the blurry elements and the focused subjects in a picture.

For an image with only the subject in focus and the rest of it blurred, it will have a low depth of field, whereas if an image has both the far and near objects in focus, it will have a high depth of field. The main area of play when using this as a tool is the exposure time. Controlling it will yield results which you want. Two images of the same subject with different exposure times will be entirely different from each other.

  5. I took photography classes soon after I finished college. I completely forgot what I learned there. I have to refer to online tutorials for tips. We still haven't gotten around to maximizing our camera's potential!

  6. I've taken several photography classes and sessions throughout my career. As a PR and communications practitioner, I felt the need to learn the techniques and various methods used in photography. Besides, it has become a hobby. I always form a story on things that I capture and I find it useful in my travels. Although I am guilty of being trigger happy sometimes but I just love to see several photos whenever I come home from a trip. :-)

  7. I like taking pictures, but I do not like to carry a big SLR camera. I hope there will be lessons on how to take quality photos with a point-and-shoot, or a cellphone camera.

  8. The depth of field really makes photos nicer and more professional because of the blurred out effect... You can't achieve this with obile phones so sometimes I add in the blur myself! Hahahah
