Ever since I stopped shooting weddings, the only setting I ever use on my camera is "Aperture Priority."
The photograph on the right demonstrates the depth of field that is achieved when using a small aperture.
My aperture was set at f.18, and the camera selected a shutter speed of 1/160th of a second.
Notice that the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the distance are in fairly sharp focus.
Understanding depth of field is an absolute necessity if one is to progress beyond the "point and shoot" level of photographic skill.
