Long Depth of Field, Steven

Long Depth of field

Title: Couple at Coney Island

Date:1928

Photographer: Walker Evans

This black and white image is of street portraiture of s couple at Coney Island. The picture includes the backs of the couples, looking over a railing into the water. This is a good example of a long depth of field, for everything in the picture is in focus, opposed to just the couple. We can see the scenery in the background as clear as the foreground.

One thought on “Long Depth of field

  1. The scenery in the background isn’t quite as crisp as the couple but it isn’t really heavily blurred either. The background is more focused than in your short example.
