Photo Tip: Focus Point & Depth of Field

When choosing a focus point, you are not really choosing a certain point to be in focus but rather an entire plane to be in focus. If say two objects are the same distance from the camera, it won't matter whether you choose one or the other because both will end up in focus.

If the two objects are at different distance from the camera, choose the focus point on the object that is closest to the camera, then adjust the depth-of-field to blur (shallow or small f-stop) or not blur (deep or large f-stop) the object that is behind.
