Richard Avedon once said,“ My portraits are more about me than they are about the people I photograph.” I think he meant that when he makes a portrait he likes to control as much of the environment, and maybe even the subject themselves to create a photograph of his subject that reflect his image of them, not how the subject sees themselves.

And so, dear readers what does “crop sensor” mean? If film shooters refer to roll film as 6×6, 6×7, and 6×9 and sheet film as 4×5, 5×7, and 8×10, why can’t we refer to the sensor size by its actual measurements because as you can see, their ain’t nothing standard about ”crop.”

The basic laws of imaging state that only one part of a three-dimensional object can be truly in focus at the image plane. This means areas in front of and behind the focus plane still appear more or less in focus or acceptable focus.
