Precedent two: Depth of field


I Think for my project 1 since I am dealting with the space surrounding and in tall grass that having a good understanding of depth of field will be important. Upon researching I came across Victor Geer who had good examples of depth of field and even an example of how he did it so effectively.

He used Tilt-shift photography which is a photographic technique that relies on the use of special lenses to simulate a shallow depth of field which makes real life objects appear as miniature models. The effect is achieved by tilting the lens relative to the photographed image to achieve a very shallow depth of field.
Tilt shift encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift. Tilt is used to control the orientation of the plane of focus to produce an image that appears sharp.while Shift is used to control the perspective.
