On this cold, wintry day (as most are in Michigan in January!), I’ve pulled out one of my favorite spring-time pictures. Today, it’s not the lighting or the shutter speed or the subject that I love; it’s the depth of field. Depth of field refers to how much of the image is in focus (i.e. a blurry or sharp background). In this picture, I opened my aperture – which controls depth of field – all the way to f/2.2. The background became so blurry, it was no longer discernible. I remember that it was a fairly windy day when I took this picture, and catching the main flower in the small space that was in focus was difficult. It took patience and quite a few shots, but I’m happy with the results!
