| Farm Rabbit, ABC Acres Hamilton, Montana |
To keep your attention on the rabbit, I chose a wide open aperture of f/4 at a 105mm focal length and focused on the bunny's eye. The aperture caused the background and foreground grass to fall out of focus while the eye stayed sharp. Because we prefer to look at in-focus areas instead of out-of-focus ones, this combination of settings keeps your attention on the rabbit.
Controlling the depth of focus with aperture is one of the most powerful composition tools available to photographers. Learn more ways to use aperture choice to enhance your pictures in Creative Camera Techniques, an online course beginning March 31, 2021. Click here to register.
