Edjewmakation...

The following is my understanding of this...it very well may be wrong....
I learned more editing images over the winter then I did by taking images over the summer last year. I am a big fan of the tail end of the car being a bit "soft". This requires knowledge of depth of field...and being able to judge how many feet you are from the subject. This image 1DX_5063.jpg was taken with a 50mm f/1.4 lens. the f/1.4 means the aperture, the size of the opening in the lens, is very large. And because it is a relatively short lens the "angle of view" is also very wide. Which means that the image is very wide....which I don't like. The front of the car is far to "soft" for me....this was because I was a bit to close and ran out of the depth of field..which is the area that is in focus. Confused yet? I was to close in an attempt to avoid taking an image with a lot of space around the car. While I could have simply stepped back, which I did frequently the problem then becomes noise (grain) will often be introduced when the image is cropped....least that is what I was told ‍♂️‍♂️. Solution for me was to buy an 85mm lens with the same f/1.4 aperture. The 50mm lens has an angle of view of 46.8*, the 85mm has an angle of view of 28.6*. angle of view.jpg This simply translates into not having so much open space around the car..and still having the car fall into the depth of field...least that is my understanding of it ...ok....now that I have put you all to sleep I will be buy shortly to steal all of your toilet paper....
