depth of field explained.

Depth of field is the depth of field is the zone within a photo that appears acceptably sharp and in focus. In every picture there is a point of focus the point is where you point your lens. But there is also an area both in front of and behind your point of focus that also appears sharp, and that area corresponds to the depth of field. The size of this zone of sharpness will vary from photo to photo depending on different factors, such as your lens’s aperture settings and distance to the subject. So, by adjusting your camera settings and your composition, you can determine the amount of your image that turns out sharp and the amount that ends up blurry.

Factors that affect your depth of field. Are your aperture (f-stop). the second factor is the distance between your lens and your subject. the third factor is the focal length of the lens. And the aperture, distance to your subject, and focal length together will determine your depth of field.
