you can use color by making parts shaded with darker colors, and the parts that are closer lighter, as if being hit by light at an angle. think how in real life, things have different shades and shadows, so keep that in mind and just try to replicate what you are thinking of.
Several things:Aperture the lens is used at
Focal length of the lens in relation to a "standard" focal length one-twice as long means half the overall sharp focus distance
Size of film or digital sensor-----I used a lens from a 6x6cm camera on a 35mm one, with much shallower depth of field and sharper, due to only the middle or the optics being used.

What determines the shallowest depth in field in photography?
The largest aperture which is the smallest number on the aperture ring/dial generally anything between f1.2 - f5.6 dependant on the lens and zoom. On most consumer digital cameras the more you zoom in the higher the smallest aperture becomes. eg. Lens at 35mm, widest aperture (shallowest depth of field) generally about f2.8 Zoom in and the largest aperture will reduce to about f5.6
What is the difference between the terms 'long take' and 'deep focus' in photography?
I think your question could be re-phrased as the difference between long exposure photography and deep depth of field photography. A long exposure is where a long exposure time is used, either to record movement over a period of time, for artistic effect, or in order to provide a greater depth of field, (deep focus), achieved by using a smaller 'F' number on the camera, which provides a smaller aperture for the light to pass through. ********* For some, it relates to what is technically known as hyperfocal distance (a point of focus deduced and utilized to maximize depth of field beyond normal). IMHO, "deep focus" is a mis-nomer as you can only focus on one plane within the field of view. Anything in front or behind is not in focus; however, it may be acceptably sharp to the eye. This is depth of field. There is also "depth of focus", which is different, though related. Methinks neither depth of field nor depth of focus should be referred to as deep focus
What does F1.7 mean in photography?
The f-number is indicative of aperture. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture is, and the more light is let in. The Depth-of-Field is also reduced with a smaller f-number. f/1.7 is a very large aperture, and there will be little depth of field, but lots of brightness.
What is shallow depth of field?
It is depth of field (the part of the overall image that appears acceptably sharp) that doesn't extend very far throughout any portion of the distance from the near and far points in the image. By this definition, the limited depth of field can be in the foreground, middle ground or background, but it is a small portion of the image overall. The average person would find their depth of field to be in the near 1/3 of the distance from the near and far points. Distance to the subject, lens focal length an aperture are the main controlling factors, but the size of the reproduced image and the distance between the viewer and the image contribute also. Your perception of the depth of field can change as you approach a large image such as a poster in a mall.
What happens when the diaphragm is adjusted to the largest opening?
You will get the smallest depth of field.
How does F-stops effect on photography?
The depth of field(focus) and exposure.
What is the difference between maximum depth of field and shallow depth of field on a camera?
Depth of field in photography is 3-dimensional and is measured from the foreground moving along a horizontal plane towards the background. Maximum depth-of-field means most of the scene is in focus and shallow depth-of-field means the minimum is in focus. Shallow depth-of-field lets you lose the background into a nice blur leaving the foreground in focus - good for portrait photography. In landscape photography you would normally choose the maximum depth-of-field so that distant hills were in focus as well as the middle ground and the foreground - in other words, everything in the field of your vision would be sharply focussed.
What is a field in photography?
Possibly by 'field' you mean a category or type, such as Photojournalism, or Portrait, or Wedding photography. Or maybe you refer to 'depth of field', which is the distance front to back in focus. Sorry to be vague, I have worked in photography for many years, and have never considered the idea of 'field' as such.
What camera mode is best for shallow depth of field photography?
Manual or Aperture Priority.
What does the acronym DOF refer to in photography?
In photography, the acronym DOF refers to Depth of Field. This applies mainly in digital photography, and is how focused the lenses are on one area or place.
What is the maximum depth of field in photography?
Infinite, with a suitable lens. In theory, a pinhole camera (which has no lens at all) will have a nearly infinite depth of field, but at the expense of extremely long exposure time.
What determines the shallowest depth in field in photography?
The largest aperture which is the smallest number on the aperture ring/dial generally anything between f1.2 - f5.6 dependant on the lens and zoom. On most consumer digital cameras the more you zoom in the higher the smallest aperture becomes. eg. Lens at 35mm, widest aperture (shallowest depth of field) generally about f2.8 Zoom in and the largest aperture will reduce to about f5.6
How shallow can depth of field be in macro photography?
With a 100mm macro lens, as little as a few millimeters, even when stopped down to F16.

What is the depth of field on a microscope?
Depth of field is the depth of the specimen clearly in focus and is greater at lower magnifications.
What is depth of field best demonstrated with?
Depth of field is best demonstrated with a slide containing overlapping threads. The depth of field that would increase is the low power objective.
