Depth of field

Depth of field is the thickness of the in-focus area of a photo. This is determined by the aperture, of course, but also by the focal length and the focusing distance.

In this workshop, we will start with different exercises to visualize the effect of these parameters on the depth of field, then we will practice controlling the area of sharpness in different circumstances.

Depth of field management

Depth of field is the thickness of the in-focus area of a photo. This is determined by the aperture, of course, but also by the focal length and the focusing distance. The concept being simple to explain but difficult to carry out in practice, we will spend more time in the practical session than in the theoretical session.


Recommended photo equipment

Any digital, compact, SLR or mirrorless camera is suitable for this workshop. In the case of interchangeable lens cameras, any lens will do. A tripod may be useful if it rains on the day of the workshop.
