Hi Rachel,
I don't pretend to understand the physics behind aperture and f-stops. I just know big number = long depth of field, small number = short depth of field.
The part that always confused me was f-stops and the numbers. big number =…
I am sure that Rob is giving you great technical advice - I still don't understand f/stops etc so definately listen to his advise.
I do think however that the other pic of this peir on your page shows DOF much better.
Actually, you have great depth of field in this image. By this I mean, by using a very high f/stop, you have a depth of field that includes almost the entire image. Depth of field, is basically, the range from the camera that is in focus. A low…
I am not expert but if you are going to great DOF then this doesn't quite work for me. Sorry
Ultimately great depth of field has the foreground in focus and the background not, giving you a real sense of perspective. For good examples see the…
