@PhotoClassPro I'm not sure if this was mentioned but what kind of lens where you using? I mean was it a high end lens with a fixed f-stop or one that fluctuates based on what mm your at? The reason I'm asking is I want to know how much the DOF was effected by that factor. Secondly, I would like to know which is the most appropriate way to manipulate DOF? By manipulated distance ie moving closer/further to change it or changing the f-stop?

Great job and thank you VERY much. Your talent, in addition to being a great photographer, is the ability to communicate ideas and concepts clearly and concisely. That is the mark of an excellent educator. Thank you again.

Great tutorial! Thanks!

I would say it is exactly what I was looking for. thanks a lot for this kind of explanation, my 95% of doubt is clear. My comments are just like the comments given by Paragon! but it is true in my case as well.
I just one question regarding sequence of two things (Focus AF/MF and DoF) ... Is it the case that after focusing (let's say AF) on the subject the effect of DoF is calculated / decided by the camera?

Effectively using a slow shutter speed - Part 2by PhotoClassPro67,327 views
It seems that the three takeaways to get a nice blur and a shallow depth of field is to (1) stand close to the subject, (2) increase aperture, that is decrease the f-stop number and (3) zoom in if you have a zoom. Do (1) and (3) contradict each other? Let's say you want to take a full body portrait. Is it better to stand close and zoom out or stand far and zoom in to get a nice blur and shallow depth of field?

@sjkdec18 If the subject is framed Identical in each scenario, it wont matter. However, it is preferable for most portrait photographers to stand back and zoom in as the image will look more "Compressed". Hard to really describe in words. Just try it and see.
