It’s really about Magnification
We know some truths about Depth of Field (DOF). We know there are 3 things (actually 4 but the forth is controversial and not all agree and it would only apply if you switch cameras in between shots)
Anyway, there are 3 things that affect Depth of Field
- Aperture
- Distance to Subject
- Focal Length
We know:
- The Larger the aperture (lower f/ number),the shallower the Depth of Field
- The closer we are to our subject, the shallower the Depth of Field
- The longer the Focal Length, the shallower the Depth of Field
and of course the inverse of all would be true Continue reading
