Hey, guys!
Sorry if this is going over old ground for some, however I'm in a bit confuzzlement re exact aperture. I understand the rudimentary stuff; low F number for shallow DOF and vice-versa - plenty of reading done in this regard.
At the moment however, I feel I'm just guessing the aperture for max focus. I'll say, ''if thats quite close then I'll need to use a low F number'', following that rule along the F number/distance range. Tho as mentioned I feel its just guess work at the moment based on the principle I'm following.
Should I be using one of them DOF calculator thingy-ma-bobs and learn from that?
