Landscape Vs. Portrait

Landscape - Landscape mode makes this picture clear. The trees and bushes are clear, as is Mohamed.          









Portrait - Portrait mode makes Mohamed the main focus. His shirt is darker than it was in landscape and the trees and bushes are not as clear as they were in landscape. Landscape would be better to capture a large amount of people                  

Depth of Focus

I took this photo using portrait mode. I was standing near the computer cart and Daquan sat in the last chair of our row. The photo was in focus, but not a huge amount. Daquan's hand is clearly the focus of the picture. The only thing I don't like about this picture is that Daquan's face isn't as blurred as I wanted. The next time we do a project of this nature, I'll make sure to have all the settings the way I want.
