Martha presented part 3 of Photography 101. She reviewed the previous lessons
and showed the group examples of depth of field and how it relates to your
aperture settings on a camera. The personal challenge for the month is to try
out depth of field with your camera by setting your camera to about 2x telephoto
and then taking the same photo with a setting on landscape and then on either
portrait or flower or macro and seeing the difference in the depth of field. Be
sure have a background that is a few feet behind the subject to see the
difference.
