Just a quick poll...
1) Do you understand what is meant by "depth of field"?
2) Do you understand how the "aperture" works on a camera?
3) Are you aware that aperture and depth of field are related?
4) Would you be interested in reading a general tutorial on this subject?
Thanks for taking the time to answer :)
Thanks Bernard!
These are very good questions and the answer to number 4 would be a resounding "Yes" from me.
I do know about "depth of field" and "aperture" but am always interested in learning more.
1) Yes, but I usually use the term incorrectly and have to be correct by my husband (who is an awesome guy, by the way).
2) Not on a film camera, though my awesome husband has explained it to me a gazillion times. I sorta know what to do with my digi cam, though. ;)
3) Yes, 'cause my awesome husband told me!
4) I would, but if it will cause me to have less time at the 'puter if my awesome husband is writing it, I might have to say no. ahahahahahhahahahahaha
Between sentences, you can come here and check out CP!
Since I am new to using a digi cam, I would definitely be interested in a tutorial. Great Idea Nards, I would appreciate all the help I can get to make good photos. This is going to be my new hobby.
To all who have answered the poll so far - thanks!
To those who haven't, even if not interested, please let me know.
I expect I'll post my little tutorial in about a week! Maybe a "preview" of the ideas to be discussed over the weekend.
I definitely don't mean to come across as a "know-it-all", but I know a little bit about this and thought some others might be interested.
I will wait with baited breath!
I think that this will be a terrific addition to our site.
Thanks so much, Nards!
NARD, I'd really like to learn more. I know about DOF, but mostly just use the auto buttons for that, and would like to learn more about aperture and the relation.
And I want my camera back..... :'( :'(
#1 - Sort of.
#2. Sort of.
#3. Ummm... I think so.
#4. Yes.
;D ;D ;D ;D
Mr Bernard, I do know of the things you ask. I did take the class to learn it and I do have a help here at my home too. 8)
It is my wish to learn more and I do each time I read a nother way, so I will like it to read of what you share of this here. :)
Sadly, I think I will not be here to see it at all. I will leave my home here to live in the Lhasa in only a short time. I will miss you and ms Karmat very much for this time. :'(
I do hope you will make this for others to learn here. I know it will be fun for them. :D
And I think you need to make a many more post if you are to be a Maestro when I am back here again in some time. :P
Hey, I'm a Jr. Member now. I'm not just anybody, now. I'll work hard to be a REAL Somebody when you return.
When will you be back? We are going to miss you terribly. :(
Okay, I'm about to post the first edition of the tutorial. Hope you guys enjoy!!!!

Just a quick poll...
1) Do you understand what is meant by "depth of field"?
Yes
2) Do you understand how the "aperture" works on a camera?
Yes, but I would like to learn how it works on a dslr.
3) Are you aware that aperture and depth of field are related?
yes
4) Would you be interested in reading a general tutorial on this subject?
yes, I see you have it up...I will read it later tonight and give you my thoughts. ;) :D
Thanks for taking the time to answer :)
Sonya, there are some details that are relevant to DSLRs that I didn't really get into, as the tutorial (if it can really be called such) is aimed at the point and shoot stuff that dominates CP.
I really need to get some photos and illustrations into the tut, just haven't had time.
I think you'll find depth of field is much more critical with a DSLR than a digicam. For some reason, it is simply IMPOSSIBLE to get a REALLY blurry effect with a lot of digicams, but it is very easy with a SLR film cam.
It all WORKS the same way, it just has more affect with the SLR lenses.
Yes to all 4 questions.
