Large Aperture
Using f/4.5 (a shallow depth of field), these fallen leaves and berries were
brought out by repetition.
These bright flowers were emphasized by contrast (one is focused while the
rest are not) and repetition. This was taken with f/4.5.
Medium Aperture
At f/10.0, these wilted flowers are emphasized by rule of thirds. As well, a
couple buds are blurred, keeping the viewer's attention on the few focused
ones (contrast).
This photo of a yellow flower was taken at f/10.0 and made off-center for
emphasis. It is also an example of contrast, as the flower is light while the
leaves are dark.
Small Aperture
With f/18.0 (a deep depth of field), this photo shows contrast, as the globe
is slightly blurred, while the leaves are in focus.
Using f/29.0, the branches of the foreground in this photo frame the globe in the background.
Final Thoughts
This photo of wilted flowers is my favourite because of the way the background
turned out (like an abstract painting and with muted colours) and and brings out
the pink of the flowers.
