Video: What Is the Best Aperture for a Group Shot?
Video Transcript
Hi. I'm Dan Reinecke with Unknown Media, and today I'm going to share with you the best aperture for a group shot. When shooting a group shot the key is going to be getting everyone in the shot and keeping everyone in the shot in focus. You're not going to want a shallow depth of field because you'll risk leaving some people in the back of the group out of focus. So what you're going to want to do is have your aperture closed down to around a 5, 6 or an 8 with a wide angle lens backed up about ten feet, this will make sure that you keep everyone in the photo in focus. I'm Dan Reinecke. Take your best shot.
