First of all, congratulations on the ribbon, a stunning photo!
My question as a newbie is, why use F16 and not F2.8 or anything larger? Isn't the "faster" aperture more suitable for these sort of fast shots?
Please guide me, thanks! |

The shot was taken at 1/500 sec which is fast enough, increasing the arpeture will allow faster speeds but this 1/500 is sufficent. The smaller arpeture gives better depth of field.

Just to straighten things out, f/2.8 is a "larger" aperture, f/22 is a "smaller" aperture. The smaller the aperture, the greater the DOF. ON this extreme a closeup, a smallish aperture is mandatory if you want sharpness throughout.

I think I understand the point of confusion.
Lenses with larger apertures are often called fast. ie, a f1.4 lens is "faster" than an f/5.6 lens.
The reason the lens is faster is because the larger aperture allows for higher shutter speeds in a given amount of ambient light.

I think the exposure was perfect on this and the dof proves it...2.8 would have been disastrous, though the action would have been frozen with a faster shutter speed

Even with f16 the extreme back part of the splash is still OOF. As already stated, f16 was used to get the most DOF possible without compromising on the shutter speed.

I got it now.
Really good camera controls!
I'm impressed. |

I wouldn't have thought that the shutter speed would matter in this shot, considering flashes were used. I imagine 1/500th was used because it is the D70's x-sync speed. As long as your flashes are sufficiently powerful, you can control aperture without having to worry about exposure.
