30 Stunning Examples of Great Depth of Field Photography

Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and furthest object in a scene that appears acceptably sharp in an image. The depth of field covers a zone of one third in front of the focus point and two thirds behind the focus point. Controlling the depth of field can help you shoot photographs where your chosen subjects are always clear in the picture.

Creating a professional depth of field (DOF) effect in your photos is a quite difficult task and requires some practice and the right equipment. When the art is mastered however, some pretty amazing results can be achieved… Today, we have picked out 30 interesting depth of field photos especially for you.
