This image has used a low F stop which I achieved on my phone by adjusting the f-stop slider setting. This really softens and blurs the images in the background in a fairly harsh manner. It creates much more attention on Jack in the foreground and emphasises the depth of field. Things in the background like the Rob Burrow mural in is not as visible and can only be recognised because I know the area whereas someone who doesn’t know it as well would fail to do so.
This has a middle F stop setting which slightly blurs the background and creates a subtle softness on anything in the background. It creates a less offensive image than the low F stop whilst also creating a focus on Jack in the foreground. The Rob Burrow in the background is much more visible compared to the first image and so are the people in the background as there is less focus on Jack.
High F stop was able to bring more items and people in the background into focus and has made the image much more clear. This has less focus on Jack in the foreground even though he is still the subject. Everything is much more visible, with it being hard to not recognise the mural for Rob Burrow and people can be clearly seen in the background.
Extra Credit
This image has all three of the objects in focus and we are able to fully see them as there is a high f-stop setting on.
This image only focuses on the chewing gum in the front as there is a low f-stop setting on. It draws much more attention to the things at the forefront of the image and leaves other things in the background more easily ignored as they are blurred out.
