    I am a cinematography student .For years I was shooting with the widest open aperture for the highly clichéd shallow depth cinematic look and getting more light.But after reading an article I started using higher stops for portrait and is getting amazing results with good depth and sharp portraits.

    Very good demonstration! Although I’m an event/wedding shooter and love my shallow depth of field I also shoot a lot of close up detail shots of, for example, the bride’s jewelry. I always kick my aperture up to say f7.1 , f8 or sometimes f11 to make sure the whole object/subject of the photo is completely in focus. This was extremely helpful. I’ll be testing all my lenses starting with my workhorse the Canon 24-70mm f2.8.

    After many years as a professional and now retired shooting for fun, I use f/8 for most outdoor shots because it’s the sharpest mid zone setting for me. The only other f/stop setting is f/4 for most outdoor portraits, never wide open. While sitting at an outdoor cafe with fellow photographers, one of the NYC pros asked me why I never shot with my Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 at f/1.4. I turned and shot a picture of the girl on my right at f/1.4 and showed him the results - sharp eye and blurry ears and nose, making her look freakishly.

    There is also a sweet spot for sharpness per given focal range. This is very important because the glass have to rotate and move in and out to achieve optimum focus. For example: F1.8 doesn't work as well for distant subjects as F8.

    The test might have been more useful if the subject was a flat, patterned wall. That way you can compare sharpness in the center, as well as the corners. Corners are the most overlooked test areas that will quickly show good to bad.

    Good video! It's difficult to tell as you shoot.. it also depends by many factors, such as: distance from the subject, light, sensor size, and so on.. The only way it'd probably be to shoot the image with all the different aperture combinations, then to pick the right one once uploaded and seen it on a computer screen. Foods for thoughts..
