Photography podcast #70 discusses why sometimes our photographs do not appear sharp enough.‚ We touch on several important factors that all compromise image sharpness. For newbies in particular, we also mention the depth of field guide which clearly tells the photographer the zone of sharp focus (in feet and inches or centimeters and meters depending on the guide) to expect with a given aperture and lens.
