What is a sense of depth?

The sense of depth is the spatial depth shown in the picture according to the perspective principle. The depth of field is the distance range between the front and back of an object measured by the imaging of a camera lens or other imager.

Enhancing the depth of the picture can often improve the layering and three-dimensional sense of the picture, which is the key issue we should consider when composing the picture, especially when shooting the scenery. The scenery without depth makes people feel dull and boring. It is also a grassland scenery, and the picture with a sense of depth is obviously better.

Extended data

Several tips to enhance the depth of the picture;

1, make good use of the guide line

Most of the characters involved in composition can not be separated from the guide line, because it is very common, with outstanding effect of gathering sight and simple application. An important principle of enhancing the depth of the picture by using the guide line is to let the guide line run through the whole picture from the foreground and guide the audience's line of sight to extend from the nearby to the distant background scenery.

2. Size comparison

It will be mentioned in the composition article that adding foreground to the picture will help to enhance the interest and spatial depth of the picture. Adding foreground scenery, to some extent, also makes use of the size contrast between close-range and distant view, which makes people have a more intuitive understanding of the distance of the scenery psychologically.
