| Deep depth of field is not difficult to achieve on a dslr :) It's all about hyperfocal distances and wide angle lenses :P |

Am I mistaken, or is this basically a scenery challenge? With a shallow DOF there are any number of interesting things to focus on, but with a large DOF it is basically panaramic landscapes.

I think architecture is as good or a better subject for deep depth of field... |

| Makes me think of shots that will have comments like "How did you manage to get it all in focus?". The real challenge is to compose the impossible, or make it look like you did the impossible. |

page 16 "preparing for deep depth of field"
and page 18 "hyperfocal distance"

Does deep DOF mean it is out of focus in the front and in focus in the background? I am confused.

Everything should be in focus. |

| As long as everything is in focus, it's a free subject, anything goes. |

I guess I will have to pull my sony out of the closet for this one.

Why? You just have to use a small aperture like f/16 and focus about 1/3 of the way in your frame and you'll be fine. The easy way to do this in the Rebel is to use the A-DEP mode.
Edit: And use a wide angle lens...

I can see I`m going to have to pick my subject very carefully as my Fuji only goes down to F11.
Looking forward to it though. |

Thanks for that advice. I will give it a try.

I can't even control my own Aperature manually.

Time to stop down the 12mm to f22.
|

see, but all of your f22 aperatures require way more time on the shutter than lets say f7.1 on my f717

True, but I can leave my shutter open as long as it takes...

Neener neener. With my Sigma 15-30mm set @ 15mm and F8.0 ... everything from 2.3 feet and beyond will be in focus :) using hyperfocal charts. 0.58 feet and beyond set at F22. neener neener :P

so whats the ideal ap for deep dof.
I did a lot of testing for my threes entry shot and feel like I got good practice for this one. What are others thinking?

The smaller the better (or the larger the number the better). My camera's best is f 8.0, so I'll be using that! I expect this to be a lovely challenge to judge! I can't wait to see everyone's work!
David Timms's username is f-32--wouldn't it be great if his camera actually achieved that?

| Ok, I've been sucking wind on my shots lately, so I guess I'll spend some time and see if I can DO THIS ONE RIGHT!! hahahaha |

Ok so some of you are saying that deep DOF is having everything in focus. I suppose I'm just different... IMO I feel this pic qualifies more so than a pic with everything in focus.
