What do i mean by shallow? I meant of course shallow depth of field. To all you newbies, shallow depth of field is a shallow portion of the frame that appears sharp while the rest of the image is blurred.
This technique is used to isolate the subject or main point of interest of the image. As an exercise, go to a micro-stock site and count the number of images with a shallow depth of field. You will greater understand the isolating power of this technique. Using shallow depth of field also breaks away the snapshot look. So if you don’t have a digital SLR and just a simple point and shoot give this technique a try and no one would believe you just have a point and shoot camera.
