I had great luck on this one - the pedestrian profile fit perfectly in the background while the main subject came out sharp. I actually tried shooting this straight on, toward the building, but moving around to the side (in a tight squeeze) turned out to be the best opportunity. f2.8, 1/200 handheld, ISO 80.

Hi Dale Wouldn't it be great if camera lenses, and especially normal TV cameras were able to focus like the human eye does, so that the guy in the background was in focus just like the flowers are in your photo ?
Regards Alex

Regards Alex I've heard of a technique, more often now, called "focus stacking", involving the combining of images to achieve great DOF. Like so many things, it looks scary complicated and demanding of time, so I'll just play peasant photographer until they get some automation on that. BTW, I seem to remember some of the old film cameras could stop down to f22 or whatever to get super DOF, but now everyone is telling digital photographers that stopping down past f8 is going to increase "diffraction" or some such thing. So I wonder - is it digital, the lens, or some dark secret the photo industry is hiding, that they're making DOF a costly task.
