    What is DOF?! (I might have asked this before, very new to this so I forget)- Looks like he is wearing glasses. I hate spiders, but love this photo!

  • Darren Post replied

    Good Morning … DOF = Depth Of Field
    This is the measure of the ‘in focus’ component of the photo.
    With Macro photography its hard to achieve a large DOF (getting the whole spider in focus for example) and in extreemes multiple images are taken and layered.
    With Portrait photography a smaller DOF tends to be prefered resulting in the background being blurred, also works well with flowers etc.
    A higher Aperture (F stop) will give larger DOF
    Hope this explains DOF… and doesn’t confuse.   :-)

    Wonderful capture. Love his big eyes, is that a baby one closeby?

  • Darren Post replied

    I dont think it’s a baby one, suspect next meal as Marlin suggested.
    I didn’t even notice the little guy until I downloaded from the camera.
