Concepts in Photography
Depth of field
The depth of field (DOF) is the focused area around the subject.
In general, the DOF can be shallow or deep. In photos with a shallow DOF, 
the subject is sharply focused, the background is blurred and the subject 
stands out. In contrast, photos with a deep DOF have all the elements of 
the photo in sharp focus.
You can create a photo with a shallow DOF by using a telescopic lens or by 
selecting a low aperture value. You can create a photo with a deep DOF by 
using a wide angle lens or by selecting a high aperture value.

What controls out-of-focus effects?
DOF depends on the aperture value
A low aperture value indicates that the aperture has a wide opening. The 
wider the aperture, the shallower the DOF becomes. Conversely, a high 
aperture value indicates that the aperture has a narrow opening. The 
narrower the aperture, the deeper the DOF becomes.
