3D effect with Depth of field technique

The depth of sharp focus with three-dimensional subjects can be a critical component in macro photography. You'll find that depth-of-field is significantly reduced when you're focusing close. Although the relatively short focal length of the lenses attached to many digital cameras provides extra depth-of-field at a given magnification, it still might not be enough. You'll need to learn to use smaller apertures and other techniques to increase the amount of sharp subject matter. If you focus on the subject in front, the subject in the background might be out of focus. Focus on the subject behind, and the subject in front might be out of focus. .
