Bonsai photos

[Vance Wood]

To quote a photo website I found: "Depth of field increases with f-number", i.e. f32 has very large depth of field, f11 has large depth of field, f8 less depth of field, and f5 even less, etc. Maybe I'll remember it that way - big f-number, big depth of field. Don't have to remember what that means in terms of aperture size.

The problem is, the smaller the F stop # the wider or more open the the aperture. The bigger the aperture openen. This makes the narrower or shallower depth of field. Makes for great photos if you manage to set everything else correctly.

The problem is that we are trying to remember both at the same time. Solution: The smaller the F stop tjhe smaller the depth of field, the Larger the F stop the larger the depth of field. When we get into trouble is when we try to reconcile the issue in our head at the same time, where things seem to be turned around.
