My DoF Rant

I've been somewhat disgusted with the pundents that give simple solutions to complex photography subjects.

For what's it worth. It isn't that simple. Many articles and videos are just click bait. A simple way to improve your photography.

My favorite piss off issue is use a large Aperture to have a small DoF. While not incorrect it doesn't tell the complete story.

In stoppers article dated July 27 2024 it address DoF here.

I've discussed this subject over the years here.

DoF, Depth Of Field?

 We have learned that to get a shallow DoF use a large Aperture. So why does your cellphone camera with a large Aperture, say f/1.7, have a wide DoF. Basically why is everything in acceptable focus?

Why?
