"Depths of fields and Exposure Time"

The depth of field in photography consists of four basic steps;
Step 1: correct your lens aperture
Step 2: your lenses focal length
Step 3: the subject distance
Step 4: the film size

After playing with your camera you can choose if you want your photo to be of a narrow depth or wide depth of field. There is one main difference in these two depths, to capture a photograph in narrow depth of field the picture should be out of focus of blurry. On the other hand, to capture a wide depth of field photograph the picture should be in focus and be clear.

Being a photographer means that you should know the difference between short exposures and long exposures. A short exposure means a fast, rapid moving picture is taken with a short timing period. This allows for the picture to be in focus and less blur. A longer exposure or a longer timing period means that the picture should be pretty blurry.
