Depth of field

Preview: focus is on the person, the posts show distance

Calculated for a circle of confusion of diagonal/1500. It is an approximation for a photo viewed as a whole. The scene is drawn: we calculate the blur of each plane with the same formulas.

Equivalent focal length

Preview: the same lens on two sensors

An f/2.8 aperture gives the same exposure on every sensor, so shutter speed and ISO stay the same. Only depth of field changes: on a smaller sensor with the same framing it is deeper, as on full frame at a smaller aperture.

ND filter: new shutter speed

Preview: water and clouds at both speeds

Stars without trails

Preview: 100% crop (150 sensor pixels), a star near the celestial equator, i.e. the longest trail

The 500 rule is simple but gives slight trails with today's sensors. The (simplified) NPF rule takes resolution and aperture into account, so it is more accurate.
