Great teaching video for my high school students but WILL NOT condone or present the submissive bikini pose at 2:06 or so… have to cover the projector. Glad times are slowly changing and the industry is gaining greater DEPTH. Almost shocking this would be included.
Very good video – shame the quality is poor.

That was the best part about going from the 10D to the 5D – much better Depth of Field for shooting people.
Photoshoped photos can be nice but whatever sort of camera you have, it's always good to know how the reading (mecanics and tecnique) in the camera works to make the best photo in the camera. It don't have to be a fancy camera, some of my best I've got with my mobilephone.
Hi, do you know "photo SFX art" (do a Google search for it)? There you can watch a nice free video explaining how to shoot fantastic pictures. It helped Joe to make photographs that leave you with that wow-effect when you take a look at them. Perhaps it will help you out as well…
*fancy lenses
a depth of field gone wrong made the subject to be the background and not the targets. is there any way to reverse it ?
like if you got here through @icdhills !
Hey, do you know "MagicSFXphoto" (just google it)? There you can watch a great free video explaining how you can create impressive pictures. This helped Matt to take photographs that leave you with a jaw-dropping-effect while you take a look at them. I hope it helps you as well.
@DjRyanBeeden all lenses have it in it you just have to find the point. and remember you can do a fade into focus as a cut also.
@krazy4baja A problem with using DOF preview button on a SLR is the difficulty of the small screen. On fixed focal length lenses (as opposed to zoom lenses) you have a depth of field scale. Once you know the distance you are focused on you can see by the scale how much DOF you can get. When using the preview button the image goes dark and if using a small aperture it is very difficult. You can get scales in app. form. Have a look at (dot) dofmaster(dot)com/dofjs(dot)html on the web.
How do you use the depth of field button on a dslr. I have a Canon 7D. Can you view the image your shooting before taking the shot using the depth field button to decide if it's the the right depth and make the adjustments while using the depth of field button then take the shot.
Beautiful Photography!

how do you do that whole DOF thing for someone who isn't knowledgable???? What about when your shooting with a packet lens?????????
awesome!
@eleetgamer I managed to do DOF with a 18-55 Looks amazing!
Great photographers break the rules and obtain what they see/ want to see.
Learning this stuff is great, but evolve past it
Thanks…. good explain
Awesome. It made me check my lens just to make sure i can acheive those resultws with my lens….
for portrait photography, forcus on the eyes with shallow depth. for landscape photography, wide depth that can make every field sharp and clear

@kclifford007 it wouldn't really matter as long as it would be fast enough to stop camera shake and to stop the object being shot from moving….sometimes a tripod and cable release to fire the camera could be the way to go….
Nice one bud !
