Depth-of-Field / 16.3 - Distance from the Subject

Depth-of-field also depends on how close you are to the subject.

If you're more than, say, fifteen feet from your subject, different lens openings will have about the same amounts of depth-of-field.>

As you get closer to the subject, depth-of-field becomes more evident.

If you're close to your subject, consider using a small lens opening, such as f/22.
