I am shooting with a canon t3i just fyi.
So I tried shooting something, but certain things were in focus and others weren't. I know this depends on aperture and shutter speed. But what should I set it to? After searching I saw that 1/60 is good shutter speed if your shooting a 30 fps which I am. But what should I set the aperture?
I tested it earlier with the aperture at 3.5 and SS at 1/60. And I noticed that the stuff in the foreground became more focused then the main subject. So I changed the aperture to 10 and then further to 29 (the highest) but I didnt notice barely any difference at all. I am so confused at this point... Hopefully someone can help. All I want is to make everything equally focused!
Below is a link showing you the set up. Me and my girlfriend are about a meter away from the camera, and the camera is mounted.
The first pic is before I changed anything. And the second pic if after I changed the SS and Aperture. Notice that the owl (the thing on the bottom in the middle) is out of focus at first. And in the other picture after playing around with the settings the owl is in better focus then everything else.
