Focus at different apertures


Exercise 3

This exercise was all about taking three photographs standing at an angle to a row of things  - in my case a row of houses. The photographs were taken using a tripod and with the camera set at three different apertures. I printed out each  photograph to compare the differences between them.

Photo 7  :   f 5.6  @ 1/4000

Photo 8 : f 11 @ 1/1000

Photo 9 : f25 @ 1/250
Comparing the three prints to determine the depth of field at each of the different apertures was not as easy as I expected.I'm not sure whether this was the quality of the photography or my varifocle glasses! It took a while to really see the limits of sharpness but that said, I could then see the difference between the lowest and highest aperture setting.
