  Focus on multiple Subjects

  Posted by Unknown Member on April 22, 2023 at 12:45 pm

  We can control DoF with the help of various factors, but can we control the area of field/focus???

  like two subjects in a frame, at totally different Focus points, how we manage to get both of them in focus???

  We have a separate course dealing with this. Suggest you to go through it:
  https://learn.sudhirshivaramphotography.com/courses/get-blurred-out-of-focus-background/

  The answer to your question is both yes and no. DoF is dependent on 3 factors:
  – Focal length
  – Camera to subject distance
  – Aperture

  And DoF is not a single point, it’s an area in front of the focusing point and behind it. So depending on the above parameters it may or may not be possible to get both in focus.

    Nope. It will not help unless you get the other 2 parameters also right.

  Interesting. Something for the makers too to ponder 🙂 2 points:

  1. If they are at a different focal length, go for a narrower aperture f/11 and above. You may get the whole scene in focus. However this may decrease shutter speed or boost up the ISO

  2. If they are at the same focal length then it is relatively easy. Focus on one the other will be in focus automatically. Play with apertures to find ideal spot
