ALEJANDRO PEREZ SANCHEZ. In this lesson, we are teaching you how to render depth of field by adjusting our camera settings, render settings and as a bonus using a cloud FX to make things feel even further away! I hope this helps you out with rendering out more interesting shots. This will mean your depth of field increases and you might also find that your images become sharper also as a result of shooting within the sweet spot of your lens . Keep in mind that using smaller apertures means that you need to compensate for the smaller opening in your lens and the smaller amount of light that it lets in. Depth of field, on the other hand, can truly make or break a photo. If you photograph a bridal party and the "bokeh balls" have a cats-eye shape, 99.9% of people won't notice or care. It’s the distance from the lens’s rear nodal point to the point of focus. The longer the focal length of your lens, the shallower the depth of field and vice versa. 4. Focus Distance. Focus distance, as the name is the distance between the focal plane and your camera’s lens. The shorter focus distance generates a shallower depth-of-field. Practice isolating the elements and see what happens. Notice how the baseball really stands out, and look at the background. By isolating the baseball with a very narrow depth of field, the background becomes really out of focus. This tool is very helpful to clean up backgrounds. Then I changed my focus to the soccer ball. Firstly, the depth of field here is incredibly shallow. We can see that because the entire background is out of focus. However, the depth of field has been used cleverly here. An even shallower depth of field has been used so that only the face and hands of the mantis are in focus. I think the effect looks superb! close up of green praying mantis 40MAyX.
