Good afternoon,
First time poster and first time reader looking for a little advice.
Let me start by saying I am a very very rookie photographer/ college student. I work for The Star-Ledger covering High School Sports throughout Morris County.
On most of the games I cover we send a photographer but a decent amount of the time we do not. As a result I bought a Nikon d60 from my uncle and a decent lens (can get the exact type of lens when I get home) to snap some photos on the sideline so when I post my articles it's not just words and an eye sore.
My issue that I am having is that the lens I was initially using (smaller less zoom) was awesome in the sense that it would get everything in focus when I'd snap a photo. But my new lens for some odd reason only can focus a small area. Talked to someone who seems to know what they're talking about and they informed me to adjust the depth of field? Was wondering if I'm missing a setting that should be turned on or anything of that nature.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
