The Importance of ‘Enough’ Depth of Field in Wildlife Photography

The Importance of ‘Enough’ Depth of Field in Wildlife Photography: "Depth of field is often discussed when reading about wildlife photography, usually with the emphasis on ensuring that a small enough depth of field is used to guarantee that the background is thrown out of focus to give emphasis to the subject. However, it is important to ensure that the depth of field you obtain is still large enough to render the entire subject in sharp focus – what good is an image that has a beautifully soft, distraction free background, if the subject itself is not in focus."
