What is depth of field? Understanding depth of field is one of the first big things in photography.

Wider apertures and closer focusing distances lead to a shallower depth of field. Again, focusing distance plays a part on the overall effect, with wide apertures offering considerably more depth of field when focused on a subject far away than they do when focused on a subject that’s close to the lens. Changing the focusing distance is often the least convenient way to control depth of field – it’s much easier to simply select an alternative aperture setting.
