I was out on a shoot and tried to take a picture of a tree. It was a mid-up (middle to top of tree) shot with mountains in the back. I figured I could work the settings like a do when shooting things close up and want a nice blurry background...open the aperture up wide.
So I shot the tree (200 feet away or less) at F3.5 (after zooming in some) and set everything else accordingly for a correct exposure. When the photos from the roll came back from the developer everything in that shot was in focus. Nothing was blurry. What did I do wrong? How can I "throw" the depth of field further ahead? Say a tree or some object is 200-500 feet away. How can I have that in focus but the background out of focus?
