Depth of Field

Depth of field is: the distance between the closest and furthest objects that appear in sharp focus in a photograph. Depth of field ("DOF") can be consiered perfect in many different ways, it all depends on what the photographer's aiming for . It is all a matter of personal preference when you're trying to determine the DOF to enhance a photograph! A few factors have a direct effect with the depth of field, they are: 1) the aperture, 2) the focal length of the lens you use, 3) the image size (has to do with distance). Just remember, the bigger the lens opening (aperture), the narrower depth of field. The smaller the aperture, the deeper the depth of field. The shorter the lens focal length, the deeper the "dof". And finally, the greater the shooting distance, the deeper the depth of field.
