Summary of Curso Básico de Fotografía Capítulo 7 (Profundidad de Campo & Distancia Hiperfocal)

00:00:00 - 00:10:00

In this video, we learn about the depth of field and hyperfocal distance. We also discuss how the depth of field varies depending on the aperture size and how close the subject is to the camera. Finally, the secret to depth of field determination is revealed.

• 00:00:00 In this video, we learn about the depth of field and hyperfocal distance. We also discuss how the depth of field varies depending on the aperture size and how close the subject is to the camera. Finally, I reveal my secret to depth of field determination- it is often desirable to have a shallow depth of field. On the other hand, when photographing landscapes, we may want a deep depth of field to keep the background out of focus.
• 00:05:00 In this video, I explain the concept of distance hyper focal (DHF). The distance hyper focal is the distance at which you need to focus your camera to achieve the deepest possible field of view. We use the example of playing children in the foreground to demonstrate the effect of DHF. In close to focus distance (10 meters), the children would be out of focus with only approaching them. However, if we change our focus to a greater distance (5 meters), the children will be in focus even when they are far away. This is because we are using a wider aperture (f/2.8) and a shorter focal length (24mm). The focus distance can be changed by adjusting the camera's aperture and focal length.
• 00:10:00 In this video, we discuss the concept of "depth of field" and how it affects the quality of a photographer's images. We also discuss the digital sensor and its sensitivity to light, and explain how the law of reciprocity affects image quality. Finally, I invite viewers to leave comments and suggestions, and thank them for watching. I look forward to addressing your questions in future videos. Thank you.
