DEEP DEPTH OF FIELD

My understanding of deep depth-of-field is that you need to try and get as much of the scene, from front to back, in focus. I figured that an aperture of f/18 and focussing at a point just beyond the gate would be a good starting point :-) I am not at all sure if I have succeeded!

Having looked at Val's link again I am wondering if I should, perhaps, have gone for f/32.

Also, I am sure a lot of lenses have a sweet spot of, probably, around f/8 or f/11. And at, say, f32 I guess the quality may suffer a bit.

I could, of course, be talking jibberish :-)))

Anyway, in the 'Discussion' section Kenny's comment about being able, in the olden days, to see the area of focus by looking at the lens markings brings back memories of this very helpful function :-)) Thanks, Kenny.

This is a farm within Stowe Landscape Gardens. But, for the purposes of 'Sight and Sound' we will have to imagine this is a 'Ranch' and then I can choose "Fun Ranch Boogie" by Albert Lee :-)
