This photograph helped me understand one of the tenets of photography, which is depth of filed.
Depth of field refers to the amount of the image that is in focus. A shallow depth of field can create a dramatic effect by blurring the background, while a deep depth of field can capture more detail throughout the image.
To capture the motion of the water in this fountain, I used the shutter speed setting. Shutter speed controls the amount of time the camera’s shutter remains open, and a faster shutter speed can freeze motion. To capture a moving object in sharp detail, a high shutter speed is needed.
