Color Correction: Before and After
Cello Series: Large and Shallow Depth of Field
In my first photo there is a large depth of field. It has an aperture of f29, an ISO of 800, and a shutter speed of 1/10 of a second. As for white balance, that remained set to AUTO when the photo was taken. In my second photo there is a shallow depth of field. For this photo, there was an aperture of f5.6, an ISO of 800, and a shutter speed of 1/160 of a second. As for white balance, that was set to AUTO when the photo was taken. It is hard to say which photo is better, because this is a matter of opinion. But personally I prefer the second photo. The focus on the shadows and blue string covers really pop against the vibrant red background. Photo one also has this, but it is captured better in photo two. I would use a shallow depth of field to highlight a part of the cello, or any part of a photo. But, when trying to capture what is going on throughout the photo I would not want to use a shallow depth of field, and would instead use a large depth of field. With the cello subject matter, you would focus on the fine tuners to take these photos like the ones above, but to photograph someone playing the cello you would not focus on the fine tuners. You would want to focus on the person and the cello, which would be a large depth of field.
