Ok, first off, I'm not being a brownnoser
this came up as a random photo from the gallery. I was intrigued and thought I'd try to see if the photographer was still around, and lo and behold it is Adam! Maybe he'll come post in this thread.
Anyway, I'm trying to learn more, and my newbieness would have made me use a wide angle lens, whereas he used 120mm. Presumably for the increased DOF. And I like that a lot.
So I have 3 questions:
In a situation like this,
1- what would be used for the focus point- the middle the the group of bikes? Or the hyperfocal point? or ? and
2- where would you stand? I did an online dof calculator, and at 20 feet you get about 3 ft Dof, and 40 feet away you get 10 feet DOF. So about 40' away?
3- any tips to keep in mind if I come across a situation like this?
Edit 4-- wouLd you use a tripod?
Thx
