[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 162688, member: 1"] Jon, thanks. You got it right. In general, lots of depth of focus is good. But there could be times when you'd like to downplay a busy, distracting background and then using a lower F stop (which means a bigger opening in the lens' shutter) will be better. And of course, in low light as in this image, you must go with a lower F stop in order to have a fast enough shutter speed to avoid the effects of camera shake or subject movement induced image blur. I shot this at about 80 mm, so I was probably 150 feet or so away. [/QUOTE]
