There is also something called the hyperfocal distance relating to the DoF. The only difference is that DoF refers to a section in a photograph that is focused, while the hyperfocal distance refers to the closest distance you can get where all objects are sharp from foreground to background. mah…

this is Wikipedia’s definition for hyperfocal distance:

In optics and photography, hyperfocal distance is a distance beyond which all objects can be brought into an “acceptable” focus. There are two commonly used definitions of hyperfocal distance, leading to values that differ only slightly:

The first definition: the hyperfocal distance is the closest distance at which a lens can be focused while keeping objects at infinity acceptably sharp; that is, the focus distance with the maximum depth of field. When the lens is focused at this distance, all objects at distances from half of the hyperfocal distance out to infinity will be acceptably sharp.

The second definition: the hyperfocal distance is the distance beyond which all objects are acceptably sharp, for a lens focused at infinity.

Say that again?

I honestly didn’t quite get that until I saw a photoblog explained it with pictures, and thats when I got what hyperfocal distance really is.

Well, that ends another photography lesson. Now I will post more pictures.

Stumble it!
