The Hipsta365<\/span><\/a> Facebook page suggested an interesting challenge last week: namely, creating Depth of Field in Hipstamatic. We published a few articles in the past about DOF but with the latest updates certain functions have been modified and so we decided to update our info on the subject. So, here\u2019s a tutorial and a few pictures that were published on Hipsta365 this week.<\/h4>\n

In \"traditional\" photography, 'depth of field' determines how much of the photograph is in focus and how gradual the transition is between \"in-focus\" and \"out-of-focus.\u201d The distance between the camera and the subject, the aperture and the focal length, work together to change the depth of field. A wide depth of field gives a gradual softening of focus and will appear more natural with the subject becoming more incorporated into the environment. A shallow depth of field gives a more dramatic focus, isolating the subject from the surroundings. A shallow depth of field is often used in portraiture to emphasize the subject from the background. A practical example would be a friend posing in front of the Golden Gate Bridge. A wide depth of field will result in the subject and the background being in focus; a shallow depth of field will render your friend in focus but the bridge will be blurry.<\/p>\n

All of the above is, of course, theory related to traditional photography and, obviously, Hipstamatic<\/strong> works a little differently. Hipstamatic<\/strong> allows you to adjust the DOF in three different ways: by manually adjusting at the time of shooting<\/strong>, by choosing a lens<\/strong> that produces a tilt-shift effect, or by editing the picture<\/strong> after shooting.\u00a0Here\u2019s an analysis of the three different approaches.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Depth of Field while shooting<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s entirely possible to create Depth of Field before you take your picture, whether in Classic<\/strong> or Pro Mode<\/strong>. The principle is the same in both cases.<\/p>\n

Classic Mode<\/h4>\n

To illustrate, we\u2019ll go back to the tutorial written in collaboration with Berlewen Jolixor<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in 2015 for the Click-Boom-Amazing<\/strong><\/span><\/a> exhibition in Brussels.<\/p>\n

First, expand the viewfinder in Hipstamatic Classic<\/strong> by double-tapping the screen. You can reduce the screen by pinching your two fingers across the screen.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
