Today, with the help of some diagrams, I explain how aperture and subject distance affect depth-of-field. See Episode #132.1 for a PDF of the diagrams.
Here is the PDF file that contains the six diagrams I use to explain this topic: https://martinbaileyphotography.com/podcasts.php?dt=ti&ep=132.1#Ep132.1
You can also find the diagrams in lower resolution in this forum post: https://martinbaileyphotography.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=15231
