Minimum Depth of Field is the amount of distance between the nearest and the farthest objects that appear in sharp focus of an image. This is done by making the objects stand out in the image, as the rest is usually blurred out. I found that those who take these images, usually take them of natural objects, such as plants or animals. The first collective group of images I found all followed similar patterns, they are both flowers and leaves and are significantly further from the background. They all use the formal elements of colour in their images, as the bold pastel colours stand out from the dark green backgrounds. The first image, shows a number of flowers which are all in different amounts of focus. The second image differs from this as although we can see the range of flowers that are in the background, only one of them is in focus. Therefore, the depth in between the flowers is much greater as we lose focus the further they go back. In the final of the three images, there is leaves instead of flowers and we also see more shadows than on the other images.
In these images, the photographers use minimum depth of field to show off different animals in their habitat. The first image shows a fish in an aquarium, I like the use of colours in this image as there is so many in the background that brighten up the rest of the image. I also like the depth in the fish itself, where the face is the most focal part of the image and the rest of the body is blurred out, however you can still see the pattern on the fish. The second image shows a lady bird, and the reflection of it on the water, however it is much smaller and the composition is laid out so that it is less greater in the frame than the other images I have looked at. The final image is much the opposite of the second, in which the snake is mostly all in focus, and there is not a lot of the background shown in the image.
