hello sifu2, errr how to playing with dof....in simple way
thx in advance
Do you mean to do "bokeh"? To blur your background and foreground and only left your subject sharp.
Poor people's way. Get a Zoom lens, for example a Tamron 70-300mm and shot at aperture f5.6 and enjoy the bokehness.
Rich man play. Buy a 70-200mm f2.8 fixed aperture and shoot at f2.8.
Or with kit lens. Can try longest focal length and widest aperture f stop (Smallest Aperture f number).
Cheers and happy "bokeing"........

Got something cheaper, just get a 50 f/1.8 and shoot at f/1.8..sure bokeh bokeh wan
Agree.......
Or if super rich, get the Leica Noctilux 50mm f0.95 and get your subject bokehed too.
Cheers.......
and thumbs up for prime lenses.

i dont think dof is same as bokeh
DOF is a formula to do "Bokeh".
The definition for depth of field (DOF) is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.

DOF is not a formula to bokeh.
DOF is the area in focus. Simple as that.
Bokeh is the area that are out of focus.
In photography, the priority is always DOF - that's where you get the subject to be covered enough to maintain the details, the bokeh is just the result of everything else.
this definition is correct though. Basically the area that is in focus.
Thanks bro goldfries for the explanation. Still enjoying your K30??
While we are still in the subject of DOF and "Bokeh".
Might want to try this out?

Cheers.......
