Understanding Depth of Field: The search for a lense's "sweet spot"
Anonymous No.2922072 View ViewReport Quoted By:
I've been trying to learn depth of field and thought taking some photos of plants would help validate some technical basics.
I'm shooting in a variety of modes, but trying to stay within Manual settings, toying with aperture. Am I correct that as I dial aperture from f.17 to f8, for instance, I'm using less light, but reaching higher depth of field.
Am I wrong that when my aperture is small, its as if I'm "sniping" my subject with a cone of moreso in-focus, higher details?
And as I increase the aperture, I'm broadening and flattening this cone of high-detail capture?
Am I understanding this correctly?
I'll post some examples I've recently taken with an LX100, some with a tripod, some without.
