Focal Points


The only part of the image that needs to be in focus is the subject your basing your photograph on. The focus needs to be locked in. In this photograph on the left, the honey bee is main focal point in the image. The audience knows this because the bee is very clear, very sharp and the background is not something we can identify. The background is blurred, allowing our eyes to move directly onto the honey bee. This technique can be used on every subject you want to put in the image. Depending on the distance that your image is taken, it can be very hard to capture the same amount of focus on the camera on both your subject and the background.
