jlemire Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Can cross-processing somehow affect depth of field? My head is telling me no, but in the image below it seems to me that something is "up". I do not remember the settings, but I was using 400 speed film on a bright day - f/11? f/8? f/5.6 at the largest. Anyways, I would have thought the DOF on this photo would be greater. Especially when looking at the shirt logo and the thumbs - they seem to be in the same plane (thumbs slightly farther away), yet the thumbs (as the rest of the hand) are fuzzy. Personally, I like the look of this photo. I was just curious as to how cross-processing affects film.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randrew1 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Follow your head. Depth of field is an optical effect that is done once the shutter closes. At this point the film doesn't know how it is going to be processed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike dixon Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Cross processing doesn't affect DOF. As you get closer to the subject, DOF decreases substantially, even at smaller apertures. In macro shots, even at f32 or smaller, DOF is just a few millimeters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlemire Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 yeah, that's pretty much what I thought. I knew macro DOF decreased, but didn't think I was that close to the shirt, but I guess I was close enough. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I think you are getting "strange" edge effects, which doesn't surprise me at all in cross-processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
