If you use the above photo of my little friend the scale as an example, you’d see that at f/5.6 I would have had between four and half and a little more
than six feet of depth or at the end of the scale at f/16 I would have had between a little more than three feet and a little more than twelve.
It’s all relative.
You really don’t have to look through your lens to make a photo.
Know your distance.
Know your angle of view.
Know your metering.
Average your metering in your mind.
See? There’s not much to it.
Not at fucking all.
I mock.
I jest.
But I encourage you to try and practice ... this quest of recording a perfect moment.
It’s better than golf.
It’s even more solitary ... surrounded by people.
Just you.
A roll of film.
Your camera.
And knowledge of your film and camera.
