When you can't get enough DOF with one shot, you can take more shots with different focus plane, and stack them together in software, using only the parts in focus from each exposure. The technique originated with photomicroscopy, I think, and is very useful for ordinary macro too. It is usually achieved by moving the subject rather than the camera. With landscapes it's different of course... :-) Here's a little videoclip from a guy who made a contraption for moving a macro subject in controlled steps. A true DIY project with parts scavenged from a CD-ROM player. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeXjpZpaZns Jostein -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
