Portrait DoF rule of thumb
I am struggling to work out what Apertures to use for various outdoor portrait shots. By this I mean, is there a rule of thumb for setting apertures for different numbers of subject. Say one subject, then two, then three and so on. Id obviously like to have say both subjects in focus but blur the back ground nicely.
I have heard of the sunny 11 rule where on a sunny day you set the aperture to f/11 then on a cloudy day set it to f/9. Does this apply to outdoor portraits.
Your help with this will be much appriciated.
