An in depth explanation of Depth of Field.
Here is an in depth explanation of Depth of Field from http://toothwalker.org
Control over the sharp and unsharp parts of the image can be of considerable importance for the success of a photograph. Traditionally, the depth of field (DOF) is a great source of confusion among photographers. To blur or not to blur, that is the question. The latter is a matter of DOF, the former not per se.
Depth of field is defined as the range of object distances within which objects are imaged with acceptable sharpness.
