Setting the Exposure
Objects closer and farther than the focused subject will be more out of focus. For instance, if you take a picture of flower against a landscape with the aperture open, the landscape in front and behind the flower will be blurred, emphasizing only the flower.
Closing the aperture (increase the aperture value) The range in focus expands forward and backward.
For instance, if you take a picture of flower against a landscape with the aperture narrowed, the landscape in front and behind the flower will be in focus..
Depth of FieldWhen you focus on a portion of the subject, there is a range in which object closer and farther will also be in focus. This focused range is called the depth of field.
