Concepts in Photography

DOF depends on focal length

The longer the focal length is, the lower the DOF gets. A telescope lens
with a longer focal length than a telescope lens with a short focal length
is better to capture a photo of a low DOF.

DOF depends on the distance between the subject and
the camera

The shorter the distance between the subject and the camera is, the
lower the DOF gets. Therefore, taking a photo close to a subject can
result in a photo of low DOF.
