Film Photography For Beginners: Which 35mm Film To Buy, How To Load Film & Manual Film Photography!

CORRECTION: Between timestamps ten and eleven and a half minutes where Jess is discussing aperture, she mixes up her adjectives! She refers to smaller f-stop numbers resulting in a "greater" depth of field while larger f-stop numbers result in a "smaller" depth of field. She knows, of course, that this is, in fact, the opposite way around and that a narrow focal plane and smaller f-numbers result in a "shallow" depth of field and that larger f-numbers have a "deep" depth of field due to their focal plane being wider. Jess was tired when she filmed this -- be nice in the comments! ;)
