What this graph shows
To get greater depth of field you need to use smaller apertures. But lenses also become less sharp at small apertures due to diffraction. There is therefore an optimal aperture to use to get the foreground as sharp as possible, which is what this graph shows.
Infinity focus
It is usually best to focus on the object that you want to be the main subject of your shot. When that's a mountain, hill etc it is often a long way off. An approximation to this is "infinity", marked on most lenses with the infinity symbol which looks like a sideways 8. If you have an autofocus lens it is probably best to focus directly on the far point than to set it manually, but in low light autofocus becomes unreliable so it is probably better to use infinity focus.
Choosing an aperture
When the whole of the scene is a long way off choosing an aperture is easy. Most lenses are sharpest at about f/8, so that's the aperture to use. When you want something closer to be sharp too it gets more tricky.
How to read the graph
Suppose you are using a 22mm lens focused at infinity. Something in the foreground is 4m away. The point at which 4m and 22mm intersect is closest to the f/13 line, so f/13 is the aperture to use.
Suppose you are using a 50mm lens focused at infinity. Something in the foreground is 2m away. No line on the graph is close to this. At this point you need to re-think your shot and move further from the foreground, otherwise it will be intolerably soft. 8m to the foreground will allow you to use an aperture of f/22.
Suppose you are using a 10mm lens focused at infinity. Something in the foreground is 3m away. You're above the f/8 line so f/8 will work just fine.
Calculations
The lines are drawn though points where the Circle of Confusion is the same size as the Airy Disc. The relationship holds whatever sensor size your camera has - no conversion factor is necessary (you should use actual focal lengths to read this graph, not 35mm equivalents).
Useful conclusions
The longer the focal length you use the smaller the aperture you will need to use to get the foreground sharp, or the further you need to move back. If you want to get really close to the foreground, and get sharp shots, a wide angle lens is a must.
Infinity, a 385-foot yacht, built in Netherlands by Oceanco, was delivered in 2022. Its owner, Eric Smidt, CEO of Harbor Freight Tools, reportedly paid $300 million for the vessel. Infinity can accommodate up to 16 guests in 8 staterooms, with 43 crew members. The interior was designed by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, featuring a teak deck, steel hull and aluminum superstructure. It currently sails under the Cayman Islands flag. It replaces a 291-foot yacht sold in 2022.
This was my mother during a snowstorm back in the 1940's in Woodside, Queens, New York. I liked the background, but I wanted something more interesting, so I created a texture, (which I accidentlly deleted...grrrrrr! Fortunately, I saved it here on Flickr, knowing what a ditzhead I can be!) and edited out all the distractions. The effect really gave the shot the look of getting ready to go into the light, which my mom did on Christmas of 2008. This time of year makes me miss her even more than usual....
He who chooses the infinite, has been chosen by the infinite.
He has received the divine touch, without which there is no awakening, no opening of spirit; but once it is received, attainment is sure, whether conquered swiftly in the course of one human life or patiently through many stadia of the cycle of existence in the manifested universe.

Another meeting, another hotel, another corridor. Repeat many times this year. I can tell you that I was delighted in not doing a 365. The stress level was way down. This may have to be my shot for the 52 weeks as this is the only shot I've taken all week.
Enjoy in the lightbox

∞ I love light (lumos!) photography. This is simple, yet powerful is it not? Haha, I'd like to think so.
Nothing is infinite, it's actually the opposite of it. But then we can go on infinitely talking about nothing being infinite... you get my point.
I watched the latest Harry Potter film today, premiere style! Never got to do that but a friend kindly gave up her tickets! ;)
I'll be writing a review for the school's e-zine so hopefully I'll get you the link soon.
And because janet tagged me, I'mma say my favourite song right now is World At Our Feet by Joe Brooks.

Go check his music out, he's pretty awesome. And did I mention - British? ;)
well lush! :)
okay I'm exhausted.
Lumos!

This sculpture was mad, it 'vapes' and blows smoke rings like all the cool kids. Once in a while if you stood long enough it went mental and blew smoke rings out of all of its holes at once.
