Hi Conrad,

Good question. What appears flat is not always perfectly flat. With long focal lengths depth-of-field is measured in small fractions of an inch. A quick check shows that dof was about 1.44 inches in front of the plane of focus so you are right I could have opened up a bit. Notice that I was at f/13 not at f/22. IAC, I would have been concerned about having enough d-o-f had I been at f/5.6. artie

Artie, can you please explain to me why you stopped down for the ‘Old barn close-up’ image? Why would you require extra depth-of-field for a flat surface that is perpendicular to you?
