A photograph with a shallow depth of field focuses in on the main subject, blurring the background. This has a cool effect of cancelling out the distracters and making the subject stand out. This looks good for a photo that is taken closer up, or from a short distance away and has a small or obviously defined subject because the background will blur out and the focus will be correct.
A photo with a large depth of field brings everything in the photo into equal focus. Nothing stands out from something else. Everything is equally blurred or focused;depending on how well you take the photo. This looks good for photos that are taken from far way and have a big subject because the whole photo will be focused.
Depth of field is the distance between objects that appear in focus.
Depth of field is controlled by fstops and aperture.
