KODAK Self-Teaching Guide to Using an Adjustable 35 mm Camera

EXERCISE #3

Select a scene to photograph that has something near the camera as well as far away. For instance, a tree branch or a person 5 or 6 feet away from the camera and a house or other scene in the distance. Be sure that you can see both in your viewfinder. Use a large lens opening to take the picture. For this exercise set the lens opening at f/2.8, the camera shutter at 250 (or as fast as your camera will allow) and the focus at infinity (oo).

(Put your example here.)

Result: The object near the camera should be out of focus (fuzzy) and the distant scene should be sharp. (A large lens opening gave you a short depth of field.)
