How I did it
How about this ?
Tell me !
- In this table I have choosen my camera, my lens and my distance (I use meters of course).
- Consulting the table, I could see that
- if I set a distance of 1 meter in the lens and
- if I use f/22 that would give me a depth of field between 0.38 and infinity.
- Then, I measured the distance with na instrument like a tape or whatever, between the sensor plain/layer/surface to a target which was 1 meter away.
- I target the central point of the focusing screen to that point and focus.
- I switch off the auto focus from the lens.
- I set the aperture at f/22
- I compose the scene
- I placed an object at 40 cms (40 cms = 0.40 meter)
- I now have the object and infinity in focus.
- I didn’t care with the speed, or I do and have to think the hole thing over again.
- If I had too much light I would have used the NDF and/or the CPF.
- I used flash because now I am a maniac of this kind of light, which is gorgeous as you can see here in my photos and here.
- Near the lights of the car - 0.83 cms
[*]Medium distance the car door or so - 1.26 m
[*]Far distance, like the street.
