The trick is a small aperture.

sigh

I need to get a better camera!

I used to get really good DOF using a smaller f-stop and longer exposure
times. All I have is a cheapy digicam right now! I'm tempted to go back
to the Pentax and use the scanner...

but that eliminates the "instant gratification"!

Ugh. Small f-stop good. Long exposure time bad. Me use flash & quick
exposure.

Seriously --- good outdoor closeup shots of flowers and bugs, etc., are
nearly impossible without it except on the calmest days. With the least
amount of wind blowing I've always had trouble.

Ah. Wind, the eternal enemy. :-)

Sometimes a large aperature with a VERY short exposure time worked well
for stop motion, such as beach splashes. I always dislike those
"smeared" waterfalls you see everywhere.

I have some shots of the oregon coast where I was able to freeze rock
splashes in the waves.

My standby was ASA 100. Those fast films that got popular, like ASA 400
always made everything so grainy!

I need to drag out the photo album one of these years and do a scanning
session, now that I know how to use the scanner and photoshop better.
I've not messed with them in over 10 years. Scanning photos that is. g

I used the scanner a lot for ebay beads and jewelry. Worked better than
a camera for true close ups.

Hi, Pig! Long time no see. Heard you and the boys were looking for a
new club house but I don't think this is the place for car pictures.
Have a pleasant day gushing over your image quality as you are wont
to do whilst criticising everyone who doesn't live up to your high
standards.

Hi,


Jerry Jerry Jerry!

Here's the dealio: Omelet - like virtually everybody else on the planet -
is a better photographer than you and actually cares about pictures & is a
decent human being too. (Bonus)

Got it?

That's great.
