Depth of Field

When your subject is in focus, there is a certain
area in front of it and behind it which will also be in
focus. This range of sharpness is called “depth of
field".

Depth of field has the following characteristics:

1)

The smaller the aperture, the wider the depth

of field and vice versa

2) The shorter the lens focal length is, the greater

the depth of field, provided that aperture and

shooting distance are the same.

3)

The farther the shooting distance, the greater

the depth of field.

4)

Depth of field is generally greater in the

background than the foreground by a ratio of

two to one.
