Depth Of Field Part #5 – Determine DOF by using your lens.
www.clickherephotographytips.com Depth of Field in photography is one of the most important tools that you can use to assist you in achieving much better results as you understanding of how important your point of focus is and how to in that include your subjects as part of the background, or to separate them from the background. You do not need to use a depth of field calculator to determine depth of field, with a manual focusing lens that has the correct information listed on it; it is easily possible to determine what area of your photograph will be in focus and what area will not be in focus. Regardless of whether you are involved in digital photography or film photography, the use of depth of field is not only vital in giving you better quality photographs it will also assist you to improve your skills and knowledge in their chosen field of photography. Depth of field can be a very good digital photography tool and when you combine depth of field with shutter speed and aperture (or f-stop) it allows you to be much more creative with your photography. My videos will explain to you various aspects about depth of field for example will provide you with some camera tips, digital photography tips, nature photography tips, night photography tips and perhaps a few tips on macro photography.

If you would like to learn a little about maximizing Depth Of Field, you may find my video entitled Depth Of Field – Bonus #3 How to Maximize depth Of Field…
This video may assist you to minimize Depth Of Field issues, however; if you are a little new to photography I would actually recommend that you view a few more of my videos simply to reinforce your understanding.
Thanks for the comment, I should have actually mentioned this in Part #1 of my answer.
Thanks again.

Answer Part #1.
In the example provided by you, the focusing point at 6.5ft will definitely be the sharpest simply because this is your focusing point…
Also, the area in front of the 3.5 ft distance will be out of focus and anything beyond the 25ft distance will be out of focus (blurred)…
From your example, the distance between 3.5ft – 25ft when shooting at an aperture of f22 is your Depth Of Field.
Now go to Part #2 of my answer…

No worries…
Thanks for your kind comment.

Say that at an aperture of f22 the DOF will be in focus from say 3.5 ft to 25. Will the focusing point at roughly 6.5 ft be the sharpest and the rest of the DOF range will be less sharp gradually dropping off as you get to the farthest reaches of the DOF?
Hope that made sense. Great video btw.
You are probably correct…
As I said in my video, the diagram is not to scale. Thanks for picking this up…

Is there a possibility that you’ve got it wrong? In the drawing, I meen?
I thought the DOF would be a-symmetrical. So more behind the tree than in front should be in focus. Just as the numbers tell you.
Learned new things!
Tried it out with my new lens.
