Adjusting aperture alone can only do so much to get sharp images with a wide depth of field — sometimes, getting both point A and point B tack sharp in one shot is about as possible as a flying pig.

Macro photography is the art of taking photos of things very close up, and ideally at great detail. Unfortunately cameras have poor depth of field at close ranges, so to get around this, many use ...

In macro photography, one of the biggest challenges in learning how to control focus at extreme magnifications. With depth of field measured in millimeters, even the most mesmerising subjects can ...

Playing around with close-up photography is a lot of fun, especially once you have invested in a dedicated macro lens for your camera. However, macro lenses may not be able to give you as much depth ...

Depth of field is a key principle to photography, a combination of factors and physics that determine how much any given photo is in focus. For this week’s Shooting Challenge, I want to to break the ...

Focus stacking makes for fantastic macro images, but the process can be tedious without the right tools. While some focus stacking rigs require the camera to be moved away from the subject in small ...

For 100+ years, any given photo had a single prime focal point. But the results of this week’s Shooting Challenge combine multiple points of focus to create images never seen before. Before you read ...

One day you’ll be able to change almost any aspect of a photo after it’s taken. A technique called computational photography, for example, promises to let you change the focus and the depth of field ...
