Depth of Focus


      In order to take this photo, I first positioned Mahawa about two feet from a bulletin board, and stood two feet away from her myself. I turned the mode dial to Portrait mode. I held the shutter button down lightly first to focus it, and then pressed it down all the way to take the photo. The only part of the photo that is in focus is Mahawa's hand. This makes it stand out because all the other parts of the photo are blurred. A problem I encountered while taking the photo were deciding how far Mahawa should stand from the wall, and how far I should stand from Mahawa when taking the photo. Another problem I encountered was figuring out how to make the camera focus on the hand only. Overall, the quality of this photo is fairly good, but there is still room for improvement.
