Hmm. Use a tripod and longer exposure times, or a smaller format
camera... get all the DOF you want.

Very intersting.
I think shallow DOF is one of those "artistic" things, I rarely need.
When I need it I could make it in the computer using a mask and a
Gausian
blurr or similar.
Most of the time I want D O F ! When people are looking at a
scenery, they
often focus (their eyes) at different distances. Later they will
remember
seeing the WHOLE scenery as "sharp". People want pictures to
enhance or
refresh their memory or inspire their imaginations/expectations.
They want D
O F! They want SHARPNESS.
So do I! It's really that simple.
Artist may want something different (like shallow DOF for portraits
etc.)
No problem. They can get what they want.
Why can't I?

And sometimes, a subject that one would think needs deep DOF, actually
doesn't.
Here are some real aerial photos taken with a tilt shift lens to
simulate shallow DOF. I think they are beautiful

Sensor size or film size will affect DOF for a given angle of view.
APS-C will actually provide more DOF at a given angle of view than
35mm.
Of course, Shel is right here, despite his lack of coffee <g>. Some
photos are best executed with minimal DOF. Others will benefit from
deep DOF. It's al a matter of executing one's vision. I frequently
shoot wide open with a 35/2 or even a 50/1.4. And I've had reason to
shoot at f32 with my 300/4 on the 6x7. There is no right or wrong way
to produce a good photograph. I would think that is very obvious.

Perhaps you
can elaborate upon it, specifically, why is a certain range of DOF
important for "good" photographs, what is a good photograph, and
what
does
sensor or film size have to do with anything? Thank you for your
indulgence.

Most good photographs will require at least some DOF (F.4 - F.8)
for
APS-sized sensors.
