Everything sharp

Front to back detail

A narrower opening puts a much deeper slice of the scene inside the sharp zone.

How to get it

  1. 1

    Use f/8–f/11 — usually the sharpest range on a lens.

  2. 2

    Focus roughly a third into the scene.

  3. 3

    Less light reaches the sensor, so use a tripod or accept a slower shutter speed.
