How to Get More in Focus?

[Super Simple]

Newbie question...

How do I get more of a shot in focus? I've seen pictures where the subject, background, and foreground are all nicely in focus, but I don't know how to do it.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Read up on Depth of Field.

Aperature and distance to subject as well as the lens come to play in DOF. Try shooting in Aperature priority and vary the aperature on the same subject and view your results.

That DOFmaster site was perfect. It makes it very easy to understand. Thanks!
