Depth of Field - What it is and what it isn't
Let's try to define depth of field. The usual definition runs something like this:
"The region over which objects in an image appear sharp".

Depth of field is a measure of the zone of distances (from near to far) that are within acceptable sharpness at a given aperture and focus distance.

Depth of Field
Depth of field determines how much of an image is in focus in photography. Sometimes abbreviated "DOF", depth of field is an important tool to master.

LONG Depth of Field, by contrast, refers to a wide field of view that is in focus.

What Is Depth of Field (DOF)?
Depth of field (DOF) is the distance wherein objects are in focus.
This is the pragmatic explanation.

Depth of field is the term used to describe the distance between the closest distance and the farthest distance that is in focus when you take your photo.

Depth of field refers to the range of distance that appears acceptably sharp. It varies depending on camera type, aperture and focusing distance, although print size and viewing distance can also influence our perception of depth of field.

Depth of field is (loosely quoting from an old professor of mine) "that area both in front of and behind the plane of sharp focus where objects appear in reasonable focus". Whew. But really, that statement pretty well sums it up.

The Depth of Field Dilemma in Close-up Photography
Here is a method for producing extra depth of field in all, or just part, of your picture.

Depth of field (often referred to as DOF) describes the size of the area, from front to back, that is in sharp focus.

Depth of Field
The amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus in a photograph.

Depth of field sounds complicated but it essentially means the range in a scene, from near to far, that is in sharp focus.

Depth of field is controlled by 2 things: aperture (F stop) and focal length. Shallow DoF (blurry backgrounds) = low F stop, long focal length (telephoto). Deep DoF = high F stop, short focal length (wide angle).

Shallow depth of field, sometimes called selective focus, is a great way to isolate a subject from a distracting foreground or background. When everything in a picture is equally sharp, the viewer gives equal attention to all parts of the scene.

-Depth of field. When a lens is focused on an object at a certain distance, other objects, both closer and farther than the focus distance, form larger circles of confusion.

What's Up With... Depth of Field
Do wide-angle lenses give you greater depth of field than long lenses?

I would set my camera to aperture priority (AV on most digital SLRs) and to f22 thinking that this f-stop would give me maximum depth of field.

You can accomplish this by using what is called the hyperfocal distance setting if your lens has a depth of field scale imprinted on it. This is an important "if" since many of today's lenses don't have a depth-of-field scale.

In order to accurately shoot for depth of field (DOF), no matter which end of the depth of field 'scale' you want to shoot, requires some knowledge of it. It is the in focus' part of the shot. Shutterbug.

Depth of field
Depth of field (DOF) refers to what is and isn't sharp in a picture. Images with great depth of field have a large zone of sharpness, so that everything from just a few feet in front of the camera to infinity will be sharp.

Depth of Field: Depth of field is the area of your scene that will be in clear focus. How close your subject is to you will affect your depth of field but so will your use of focal length and aperture.

Depth of Field (DOF) and Hyperfocal Distance
You may have wondered "How do pros make those wonderful landscapes where everything seems to be in focus?" Well, it is not merely by closing down the aperture of superb wide angle lenses.

Depth of Field: The area in front of and behind the focus point that is visibly sharp. Wide-angle lenses and small apertures produce a greater depth of field. Telephoto lenses and large apertures give shallow depth of field.

Depth of Field, DSLR
Depth of field - put simply, depth of field is a measure of how much of an image, apart from the main subject, remains in focus. In other words, how much of the background and the foreground of the subject is sharp.

Depth of Field - Refers to the distance between the closest and farthest sharp or in-focus portion of a photograph (also called the focal range).

Depth of Field - the range of focus your camera has which is determined by the aperture setting
Diffused Light - light that is low to medium in contrast

Depth of Field
Adjusting the aperture also has the benefit of altering the depth of field, or the range of distance that objects remain in focus. Reducing the aperture (allowing less light to strike the film) will lengthen the depth of field.

Depth of Field The range of sharp focus. Controlled by the focal length and aperture opening of the lens.

Depth of Field - This is the whole area in an image that is in focus. Out of this area, or distance focus starts getting worse resulting in blur.

Depth of field
Depth of field is a term refers to the distance between nearest point and the farthest point in the subject that the main focus point remains "sharp" along a common image plane.

Depth of Field
Refers to how much of a photo is in focus when the camera is focused on the main subject. Depth-of-field is controlled by a camera's aperture, in conjunction with the focal length of the lens.

Depth of field
Depth of field is a measure of how much of a scene (from the front to the back of the image) will be in focus. Although not strictly digital photography terminology, the affect still applies to digital cameras.

Depth of Field: The distance range from the camera to the nearest and farthest points in a scene that are in sharp focus. Use the aperture to determine the depth of field, the smaller the aperture (f11, f16, etc) the longer the depth of field.

Depth of field
A measure of the area of an image that is in focus, measured as the depth from the focal point of the image.

Depth Of Field: The range of sharpness in front of and behind the subject or object focused on.

DEPTH OF FIELD
There is one more thing you should know about lenses. Depth-of-field describes the distance behind your subject and in front of your subject that will be in focus at the same time.

Depth of field in Macro photography
You’ll probably find that, essentially, you have no depth of field at all. In macro- and microphotography, moving an item half a millimetre forward or backward from the lens changes things dramatically.

Depth of field - this is related to the background. How much DOF do I need, or want, for the composition that I have chosen? Do I want to blur the background? Is the ambient light so strong I need a small aperture to help block it out?

Depth of field
Indicates how much of a scene will be sharp and in focus. A greater depth of field implies an increased distance between well-focused background and foreground, with everything in between properly focused.

Depth of field - The area in front of and behind the main subject of a photograph that remains in focus; can be affected by aperture, distance to the subject, and focal length.
