Brief:

Depth of Field is one of the most important - and probably most complicated - aspects of photography.
This article is an attempt to simplify it, explaining how and why it changes and what to do to control it.

I have an odd question... whenever I download these articles as soon as they fully download they shrink to fit the page. Unless I save the image and take it into PS and zoom into it, I can't read it.
Do I have to change any settings on my page to keep them full screen when they upload?
Cheers
Kim

Internet explorer automatically resizes the images when they don't fit the browser window. There are 2 things you can do about this:

* Once the image has resized, hold the mouse still over it for a while and a little icon with expanding arrows will appear at the bottom right of the image. Click it and the image will appear normally.

* Go to Tools -> Internet Options... -> Advanced

In the Multimedia section there is a "Enable Automatic Image Resizing" checkbox, uncheck it and you'll be fine :)

Hope that helps.
Cheers :D

6 months of a Photography course and I never had a clue about any of that stuff, 10 minutes reading a brief tutorail on the subject and it's all still a little fuzzy, but I just need the next f-stop.

sorry, the joke had to be made. Again a nice easy to comprehend tutorial. Keep em coming guys :)
