Figure 16-7
Depth-of-fi eld range. Two images that required depth-of-fi eld from foreground
to background and were taken with the lens aperture completely closed down. This was
necessary to record both Mt. Shasta in the background and the railroad crossing signs in the
foreground with maximum sharpness. Including the railroad signs and the railroad cars added
a different touch and color to an otherwise ordinary postcard view. Maximum depth-of-fi eld
was also considered essential in the harbor scene in Italy because of the sharp outlines of the
boats. (Photos by Ernst Wildi.)
Figure 16-8
Depth-of-fi eld with different lenses. When different focal length lenses are used
from the same distance (here, 8 feet), the wide angle lens (c) has more depth-of-fi eld (46 feet)
than the standard lens (a), with 6 feet, or the telephoto lens (b), with 1.5 feet.
