NOT USING ENOUGH DEPTH OF FIELD If you’re photographing a group of people, you may have trouble keeping everyone in focus. At apertures like f2.8, the depth of field is too shallow. This means that the people in the front may be sharp, but those in the back will be out of focus. Knowing this, you can deliberately choose a smaller aperture opening such as f8. This creates greater depth of field, keeping everyone sharp throughout the frame. PicsArt Monthly |37
