    Correct Answer
    A. It is the amount of distance in a photo that can be seen clearly.
    Explanation
    Depth of field refers to the range of distance in a photograph that appears in sharp focus. It determines how much of the scene is in focus, from the nearest to the farthest objects. A shallow depth of field means only a small portion of the image is in focus, while a deep depth of field means a larger area is in focus. Therefore, the correct answer is that depth of field is the amount of distance in a photo that can be seen clearly.

The shadows are longer and more dramatic, creating interesting compositions. This time is often referred to as the "golden hour" because of the magical quality it brings to photographs.

    How can you regulate your depth of field?

    • Shutter speed. The faster the shutter, the more depth of field you will get.

    • Aperture or F-Stops, the larger your f-stop, the deeper the depth of field.

    Correct Answer
    A. Aperture or F-Stops, the larger your f-stop, the deeper the depth of field.
