Description
Poser 11, still using my Win7 machine and really this is the only thing I can do with it anymore. Experimenting with depth of field again. I just could not get this how I wanted it and I think I need to learn more about how perspective affects focal length because it seemed that whenever I moved the focal point it affected a huge area even when I had it set to a small (I thought) area. I wanted the background to blur way more than the front but it wasn't long enough to do that without blurring a lot of the mid ground. I will mess with it again in a few months when I am no longer tired of it. I didn't even bother with a driver for the cart--the horse is the important one, right?
I also played with scatters in this one, which I think was the whole original point and I got sidetracked. I need to figure out how to make a more natural looking worn and dirty road.

When considering depth of field, two key factors to keep in mind are focal length and f-stop.
Focal Length: The focal length of a lens affects how the background appears in relation to your subject. A longer focal length will create the illusion that the background is closer to the subject, while a shorter focal length will make the background appear further away.
F-stop: The f-stop setting controls the sharpness of the areas in front of and behind your point of focus. A lower f-stop value (i.e., a smaller number) results in a greater depth of field, creating a wider range of sharpness. Conversely, a higher f-stop value leads to a shallow depth of field, with a narrower range of sharpness.
It's essential to keep the camera's focus distance fixed; any adjustments to focus will require recalibrating your settings.
I hope this will point you in the right direction.
Great Work!
