[QUOTE="dieselnutjob, post: 716455, member: 47318"] So I also had some "fails". My daughter asked me to take some photos of these baby crocodiles (well I think that's what they are). It was quite dark in there. Being a newbie I guess I forgot about depth of field and so only one of them is in focus [URL="https://flic.kr/p/2hELz6P"][IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49009123957_41e6d2ecb9_b.jpg[/IMG][/URL][URL="https://flic.kr/p/2hELz6P"]RTP_0352[/URL] by [URL="https://www.flickr.com/photos/74505254@N04/"]dieselnutjob[/URL], on Flickr I'm not quite sure how I would know that whether I not I have a small enough aperture for them to both be sharp? If you have a lot of light it's fine because you can just put a small aperture, but if it's dark then it becomes a balancing act of cranking the ISO hi enough to get the shot, and the aperture just small enough to get the depth of field I guess? Too small an aperture means a higher ISO and more grain. How does one know how small an aperture is needed? Trial and error and keep inspecting on the screen on the back of the camera? Just shoot with losts of combinations of ISO / aperture and look on a big screen when you get home? [/QUOTE]
