Photography Question
Experts!
How do you set up your camera to take pictures where the forefront depth is crystal clear and you gradually lose focus as the depth deepens in the shot? Or is a shot like this something only an expensive camera can do. Example picture.  Last edited by Dutch : 10-02-2006 at 08:32 AM. |

This is something that you are only going to get out of an SLR (either film or digital) camera. I'm not aware of any of the point and shoot digital cameras that have depth of field adjustment.

You need to have a camera which allows control over the aperture. You want to have the lens "wide open" (the smallest F number possible). The above shot was probably taken with f 2.0 or less and a very long telephoto lens. Long lenses which are also fast (allow a small F stop) are very expensive.
So yes, the photo equipment used to produce this particular image is likely expensive but, in general, this is an effect you can reproduce in any camera which allows control over the aperture. |

What they said. If you just have a normal "point and click" camera, you likely cannot do this, you need to have an SLR camera.
