Re: [Digital BW] Shooting Digitally

2002-01-18 by Pics4U@en.com

Whenever I shoot something that requires that kind of DOF, I'm 
normally shooting wide angle and the DOF just takes care of itself. 
Besides, I'm a believer is staying away from the first two and last two 
stops of any lens. IMHO? The extra sharpness of a middle upper 
f/stop such as f/8 or f/11 seems to give the results I need.

I'm also primarily a people shooter so such things as 6 second 
shutter speeds aren't possible in many situations.
