Depth of Field is how much of your image is in acceptable focus. When you have a large portion of your image in focus, you have what is called a large or deep depth of field.

  1. You are doing a really good job kid. I have had a slightly working knowledge of depth of field for years (decades even), but have been looking for a more detailed understanding of the basics. I haven't heard a better explanation than yours. No matter what the age of the presenter.

  2. Excellent way to explain it, thank you very much. I have a question for you, i do aerial photography from a single engine Cessna, right now I'm using a Nikon D3300 with a AF-S 55-200 lens (non VR). And I just got a Canon G7 Mark II.
    I've noticed that this Nikon needs a very high f. Stop number (18-20) for getting decent sharpness in all the photo frame (deep depth of field) and high shutter speed (above 640) so I have to increase ISO which means a lot of noise in my photos… is there any other settings you can suggest for me to get sharper photos with this camera please? Or is it the lens?
    And about the Canon, i got it because is a smaller camera, i even can carry it on my pocket! Haven't used it already but i will appreciate if you can give me the best settings for, again, sharpie photos!
    Thanks again, regards from Colombia South America!

  3. This is a very good video. Definitely helped a lot, I am finally learning how to use my DSLR. Can you please make a video about taking pictures in dark. e.g you're in a dark room but trying to focus on a particular subject, or you're out on the beach at night or in a park. I would really appreciate that. Thank you so much!
