Tips and Tricks for Depth of Field
--For this assignment, you MUST showcase both shallow/short and great/long depth of field; so you must plan what you want in vs out of focus!
--Depth is achieved by changing your aperture from F4 to F22+
--As you change your aperture, you will let in more or less light, so you will HAVE to change the power of your lights.
