Depth of Field

Depth of field is the zone, either side of the plane of focus that is acceptably sharp. Thus if you focus on a group of people and those on the front row are sharp but the second and third rows are blurred then you have insufficient depth of field. If you stop your lens down, you increase your depth of field and eventually you should make the entire group sharp. Knowledge of the means of extending, restricting or just achieving adequate depth of field is a primary craft skill.
