Depth of field and aperture are terms you’ve likely heard before, but do you know what they mean and how to use them effectively? This project aims to do precisely that!
Aperture and depth of field are intertwined due to physics, change your aperture, a ring inside your camera’s lens, and you’ll also change the depth of field, which basically means how much of your image is in focus.
It’s particularly useful to get to grips with these terms when shooting landscapes, as we generally want to aim for a scene that is sharp all the way through.
