The Circle

The circle is when you take a picture of or through a circle. For example, if you are in a room & there is a circle on the roof, you take a picture of the room but of the circle as well. Such as there is a dome on the roof. Example being the Odeon in Bradford. 


The circle is important to composition as it is used within depth of field. With the camera focused on the circle, the rest of the picture such as the background is blurred out & shows a good use & knowledge of depth of field by the photographer.


This part of the photograph is also known as the circle of confusion. This blurs out the depth of field whilst taking the picture.


Here is an example of the circle:


 In this picture, the depth of field is blurred out to show a circle of confusion. The circle is the rubber ducks who clamped together in a circle & is the focus of the picture. It also causes interest & intrigue what would make the viewer interested & would make them ask questions.
