When I first got into photography, the phrase “depth of field” used to really throw me. It all seemed so backwards to me, “shallow depth of field” and “deep depth of field”. What does all of that mean? If you look it up, you’ll find a lot of pages that get into a lot of really technical details about lenses and optics, but most likely you found this page because you just want to know what “shallow” vs. “deep” means.
