Describing Depth: 

deep, dark, faraway, focus, long, tall, blurred, front, back, smaller

Variety of Depth:

This photo uses the apples to show field of depth as the apples get further away from the camera and as they do they get smaller and also less focused. I particularly like this photo amongst the white background as I feel it contrasts the green of the apple. The lighting is also bright in this photo and it is extremely focused. 

This photos depth comes from the pavement. As it gets further from the camera, the colours stay the same yet it appears to get smaller. This illusion is from depth and I particularly like the rustic feel this picture brings as it is not as clean and sharp but a bit ragged.

The depth in this photo subverts the use of colour as it is a little more subtle. With it being out of focus as they get further away, they get so blurred that we cannot in fact see the size or the scale. However, by the colour, we can see that they are further away and therefore that is how depth is displayed.

I like this photo as I feel that it portrays depth in a smarter way. The use of the piano is clever as although each key may be a different length apart, the depth is shown by the unfocused black line which we see is the keys from the focus point.

Personal Definition:

the length between the front and back of an object which enables it to appear smaller in photography
