SNT #2: Depth-of-Field (DOF) #2
The aperture size isn't all that has an effect on the DOF. The distance between the camera and the subject also has an influence on the DOF.
Simply, the greater the distance between the camera and the subject, the greater the DOF. Conversely, the smaller the distance between the camera and the subject, the smaller the DOF.
Therefore we can expect the DOF of macro shots to be shallow (e.g. just the legs of an insect,) while DOF of shots as far as the horizon to be greater.
