I read something the other day that said something to effect of, wider lenses produce greater depth of field. I'm trying to wrap my head around what this means in practice.
Lets say for example that I shot something at 25mm, f/5. Then I moved back about 10 feet or so and shot the same subject at 50mm, f/5. Lets say that I was able to compose the exact same shot (or very similar) with the longer lense as I did with the wider lense and physically closer to the subject. So in other words I have 2 photos, same composition, same aperture, different focal lengths.
Is the depth of field going to appear deeper or shallower in either of the pictures based on the differing focal lengths? Is this question making sense?
