I have been playing around with the depth of field calculated in dofmaster.com and after reading the explanation of the calculated dof it shows that the dof is the distance behind and infront if the subject.
I have only been getting in to phototography in the last few months so I am still on a learning curve but thought the dof was from the centre of the frame going outwards (left and right as you look at the shot)
My question to someone who knows better than me is, does dof also work outwards as I thought above?
If dof is only distance behind and infront of the subject does that mean that if you have a shallow dof and you had a number of people standing to the left and right of each other (exactly inline with each other) and looking at the camera they would all be in focus but the background would be out of focus?
An clear explanation of what's correct and not will be appreciated.
