  • "Deeper" would be a better term to describe "depth" of field. Introducing a new term like "thicker" serves to confuse. Thanks for the video though. Good stuff.

  • wouldn't it be more accurate to say that a shorter focal length will create a greater DOF?

  • Light field technology will make this kind of rules obsolete :)

  • the bigger the (f) number (without the inverse), the smaller the opening, the larger the DOF

    The end.

  • look a his face and say jim carrey out loud

  • It seems every site that I go to uses a different term for DOF. I've never heard the term thicker. Deeper vs shallow dof is the most common. Deep(the background in focus) shallow means (the background is blurred) Right? I just purchased my first decent camera-thanks for the tutorials!

  • deeper or thicker whatever,. x)) I still love photography
