There are readers in Photography who often knows more than the person who writes, the unique thing about Photography is, still they will read, its unlike core technology articles. This is the reason we often mention, this article is for the beginners, this is and advanced article on technical part and so on. Photography is basically an art itself, in art it is very difficult define the starting point. Still, everyone will agree on the fact that, the basic understanding for segregation of the photographer to starter, average, advanced; in this way can be done by ‘reading’ few photographs by that photographer.

The best way to get some depth of field in your photo is to use a slight telephoto focal length as the lens and to select the smallest possible aperture, such as f2.0 or f3.5. The larger the focal length is chosen, the more enhanced effect can be achieved.

These values can not be set exactly in compact camera, one have to improvise a little. Zooming in a little more closer to the subject, making sure that the distance to the background is as large as possible, adds some depth of field. Scene modes for portraits and macro photography can enhance the effect, as they often contain similar settings.

But, an expert can immediate recognize the quality and skill of the photographer by noticing unwritten patterns of usage. Bokeh in Photography is somewhat a defined part of Depth of Field. Bokeh is not Depth of Field, but without Dof, Bokeh will not appear. Bokeh is an optical artistic component, which is quite impossible to exactly reproduce in post processing.
