Hi all
I have recently been looking at a few videos on interior photography - something I do for the company I work for - and I'm not sure if I need to use a wider aperture. I mainly take photographs of offices and, generally, I use the narrowest aperture available with my lens (around f/20) in order to get that wide depth of field. I use this as a default setting for all room sizes, whether it be a small meeting room or large office. BUT, I noticed one guy recommending f/8 for a smallish room, which leads me to believe I could improve my images by doing the same.
I guess what I really want to know is what is the benefit of adjusting the aperture so it is wider? Why can't I just use f/20 the whole time? Does every room size require a different aperture?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
James
