If your cam era Ls equipped with a coupled range finder, then poor focus should never be a problem. If you focus carefully on the main picture subject, that subject will he sharp. The degree of unsharp ness noticeable in objects In front lit and behind the main subject will depend upon their distance from the subject, and upon the size of the lens stop used in mak ing the exposure. But if your camera is not equipped with a rouplcd range finder, Ihen good focus becomes a mailer of experience in Judg ing distances. You can Improve your "sense of distance" by prac tice whether you have your camera with ynu or not. Try guessing the distance to this or that nearby object, then pace the distance off and sec how close your guess is. Before long you'll be hitting it right on the nose. Don't forget that correct focus becomes more and more import ant as you approach your subject. If he is I illy feel Horn the cam era, you can misjudge the dis tance by several leel and sun gel good results. But if he's only ihree feet away, a six-inch error in focus will be nolircable. So watch those close-up shots. We ll discuss blur and lauuy exposure next along with tne much-needed accessories that help eliminate these faults.
