ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the author shows that the rocks, stream, foreground and background in the area of Iceland's Thingvellir National Park all in sharp focus. He provides the wide-angle lenses offer more depth-of-field than telephoto lenses, and the wider the lens, the greater the depth-of-field. The aperture affects the depth-of-field, that is, what is in focus in front of and behind photographer's focus point. Two other factors impact depth-of-field: One, the lens in use and the camera-to-subject distance. Two, the longer the lens and the closer photographers are to the subject, the shorter the depth-of-field. A quick focusing tip: For maximum depth-of-field, use a wide-angle lens, small aperture, and set their focus 1/3 into the scene.
