Depth Of Field
Creative Focus Effects
by Jim Zuckerman

One of the most important concepts in photography, and one that you have to deal with every time you take a picture, is depth of field. Depth of field refers to how much of the scene is in focus in front of and behind the subject on which you’ve focused. For example, the picture of the Nile crocodile has shallow depth of field. Notice the grass in the foreground is soft, the head of the crocodile is sharp, and the back of the reptile and the distant background are significantly out of focus. In some instances, depth of field can be so shallow that mere inches, or even millimeters, make a difference.

by Ron Leach, Publisher

As serious gadget freak, as well as a photographer, I've been giving some serious thought to the potential of Apple's new iPad as a tool for the traveling photographer. Admittedly, my experience to date with this new device consists of reading the specs and playing with the iPad for about 30 minutes at a neighborhood Apple store. Like many of you, ever since Apple announced the iPad I've wondered about what I could do with a 1.5-inch thick tablet with 10 hours of battery life, a high-resolution 9.7-inch screen and up to 64GB of storage capacity.
