The photos that I took were of miniature toys. To take this photo, I used manual focus and aperture adjustment. The f-stop I used for the first picture was around f22. Picture number 2 was taken using f2.8. Picture number 3 was taken using f2.8 as well. I was able to change the focus in the pictures using the manual focus nob. In my opinion, the second picture is better because I feel like the bear being in focus in the back is more interesting with all of the rest of the toys out of focus. I would want to use a shallow depth of field to create visual intrest withthin the photo. A large depth of field would be better to take pictures maybe of landscape.
