Example
How to create the technique
This type of photography requires a tripod to ensure that the composition is good and the final image is clear. It is essential to have the camera on aperture priority so that when creating depth of field in an image and using a smaller f.stop like 2 or 4, that you don't have to worry about adjusting the shutter speed or the image being the wrong exposure. It is also important to be fairly close to your subject to really shoot with a good depth of field.

Theory
Exposure meter - When a digital camera is on auto, an exposure meter appears to show whether the aperture or shutter speed need adjusting in order for the correct exposure in an image. The pin should reach zero in the middle once adjusted properly and that will indicate that the camera settings are correct to take a reasonable photograph with the lighting and subject present.
In order to obtain a narrow depth of field in a shot a lower aperture is required such as 2, 2.8, 4 or 5.6 and a maximum shutter speed of 30, however to ensure the images aren't over or under exposed the camera must be on aperture priority. The ISO depends on the setting/weather, if it is outside and Sunny then it's best to use the lowest ISO of 100. If cloudy an ISO of 400 and if in a very dark setting like night time or a nightclub then a high ISO of 1600 should be used.

location portraiture post looks fine however you need to show evidence of analysing the images how does the background look different for the shots at 5.6, 8 and 11? Finally your comments on the technique a low f stop gives a good depth of field, what do you mean by this, it needs to be reworded so that readers have an accurate sense of what you are saying. Finally where is the blog post on slow sync?
