Wow. Depth of field stuff difficult. I think I finally get the apeture/f stop thing - I have a Canon non-digital that offered an automatic or manual option and I always used to chicken out and choose automatic. (Now I want to pull it out of a drawer and play with it...but hate the film now spoiled by ease of diginat...my question is - when you are taking a photo - how do you go through all this stuff in your head and also take the photo? Do you preset everything? It's a bit like math class.
