What photographer might measure if covering agricultural floods (5,2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

depth of field

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'if covering agricultural floods' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'what photographer might measure' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'measure' could be 'depth' (depth is a kind of measure) and 'depth' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for depth of field that I've seen is " Range over which picture is in focus".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
