When we take group photos such as large-scale conferences and parties, especially with multiple rows of people, we are often troubled by a question, that is, where is the focus point we are placed in or above the row of characters when we take it?
Actually, this question is very simple. Your focus must be on the eyes of the front-row character closest to the camera. This is the only choice. Especially in the eyes of the most important person in the middle of the first row. The effect of shooting in
will definitely take into account the overall focus effect.
Maybe you will ask how do we choose focus when taking a big photo, standing in the second or third row? Actually, this is not a problem, don't be bothered by it. First of all, when taking a group photo, I definitely won’t choose a large aperture. I will choose an aperture of 5.6 or smaller. Only in this way can I get a larger depth of field range and ensure that everyone from row 1 to row 3 and 4 is clear.
If you have to use a large aperture to take a group photo, you must let all the characters stand in a row and keep them on a horizontal line, and then press the shutter. This way you can start shooting with a large aperture, then narrow the aperture and shoot a few more photos, and choose the clearest film from it.
