DOF depends on focal length
The longer the focal length, the shallower the DOF. A telescopic lens with
a longer focal length will capture a photo with a shallow DOF better than a
lens with a shorter focal length.

DOF depends on the distance between the subject and the
camera
The shorter the distance between the subject and the camera, the
shallower the DOF is. Therefore, taking a photo close to a subject generally
results in a photo with a shallow DOF.
