how to minimize depth of field Anonymous
i've been trying to search for how camera to subject distance and background to subject distance affects depth of field

but i've found conflicting results

i know longer focal length gives less dof, wide aperture gives less dof

what i want to know is if

do i get less dof the further away the background is from the subject

and when i'm far away from the subject, am i increasing or decreasing dof

obviously yes, shit gets blurrier farther away

increasing. Notice how if you focus to infinity such that a bulding will be in focus and the ones behind it will also be in focus
