1). Depth of field in simple terms is how much an image is in focus and according to Langford, M et al (2007), you can reduce a number of different kinds of blur available depending on what program you are working in. Evidence of depth of field can be found in some of the work done by professional photographers and as an example, I have chosen this picture by Dinae Arbus. As illustrated in the picture below, the portrait has an out of focus background.
This is a perfect example of Diane Arbus's work on short depth of field
2).This is one of Sally Mann's family pictures and it illustrates a perfect example of short depth of field. I personally do not like the picture because it seems to me that the children are being exploited. My personal opinion!
This is another of my favourite image of hers to date. It somehow reminds me of food. Each time I look at this image, I feel hungry,,, this to me is an amazing photograph.

3). Below are a few typical examples of Jan Groover's work. In my opinion she was a fantastic photographer. She has always taught people to trust their vision. Her still lives of everyday objects are phenomenon. Her bright colours are incredible. Speechless!
I love the idea that most of the items on the table are in focus. Great stuff.

4). I found very little on Mr Kevin Horn

5). 
This is an example of Justin Windle's still life work. This is all I can say at the moment about this guy's work as I did not spend much time researching about him.
Here is another of his images.
Below are a few images I took of different depths of field when we went out to the Manchester Art Gallery with college.
I was trying my hands on Depth of field using different buttons i.e. the preview button with a Nikon D80 with a 18-105mm Kit lens. I have tried doing the following:
- First I set my aperture to 5.6, then focused only on the word Big(see image below), I then adjusted the light meter and than pressed the DOF button.
- Again I changed the aperture to 11 with same steps then to 22 with the same steps. Therefore only the words I took images of where actually in focus whereas the rest were blurred.
As I was only experimenting, some of the images were too blurry and therefore decided not add them onto my blog.
Below is a diagram of what buttons I was messing around with for depth of field
If you look closely at the image, only the middle bit is in focus. The rest is slightly blurry.
