Exposure: 6.0 sec at f/36, ISO: 200This would be an example of "large depth of field" - You can see detail and clarity on each piece of glass and ceramic. A large depth of field is indicated by the high f-stop number - f/36.
Exposure: 1/8 sec at f/5.6, ISO 200This would be an example of "narrow depth of field". The first piece of glass is very clear and in focus and the pieces behind it are blurry. A narrow depth of field is indicated by the low f-stop number - f/5.6.
Both of these pictures were taken with a tripod. I didn't move the camera (obviously) between shots, just changed the settings on my camera. I was in AV mode (on my Canon that is Aperture priority). I didn't do any processing on either of these pictures.

I finally figured my setting out :) Can't wait to play around with it today. I like your vase setup. The song pops into my head: One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong..." lol
I lined them up so I could really see the difference in the depth of field. I like how they turned out though. The chicken pitcher adds a bit of color and interest, I think. :)
I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
nothing special first time around, I'm afraid. lol :D I posted.
Angela,
Your photos are beautiful. I bought myself a camera last year for Mother's day and have been playing with it a bit. I need to learn more about it though. I take most of my photos on "auto" and would love to learn about all the rest of the settings. Thanks for sharing.
