Doing that will give you a large depth of field but not the largest possible. What you need is to focus at the Hyperfocal Distance, this will give you the maximum possible depth of field. Using the hyperfocal distance can also allow you to get a large DoF with a wider aperture - for example...

Yes but it's still a Silk Cut Jag - the full purple 1991 XJR12s & 14s are the mutt's nuts.

Sports Illustrated have 2 in their pool. It was a special order only piece which is no longer available due to the materials used being banned on health grounds

I'm starting to get through these at a decent rate now, probably less than 1000 still to process. Depending on what I find there might be a third batch or it might be straight on to the papparazi shots. 1: 2: 3: 4: 5:

Less than 3 weeks from event to posting, that's got to be the quickest yet! 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: More to follow...

Vista is bigger than XP to start with but not that much. The bulk of the difference will be things like System Restore backups, the hiberfil.sys file that the RAM gets dumped to in sleep mode etc. Something like TreeSize Free will let you see where the disk is being used if you want to track...

FoS tickets booked as usual, just a real pain that it's the same weekend as RIAT at RAF Fairford :(

That's the important thing. They're not as bad as Toyota when it comes to interference from Tokyo but they've already lost a number of key folk over the years (Dave Richards, Geoff Willis among others) because they've not got on with Tokyo. It will be interesting to see what Brawn's...

You're on the right lines. The smoke should be provided by the rear line which should consist of 4 aircraft rather than the three. To keep the formation symetrical from a distance the fourth smoke trail is provided by the rightmost aircraft of the front rank. It's quite bizarre to see the...

My understanding is that Photobox use Fujifilm Professional photo papers, ie proper silver halide based stuff that is exposed to light to generate the image rather than having a pigment applied to it as you need to do with the Ilford paper. While I suppose there might be a market for...

:thumbs: Well done sir, have a virtual cookie! No idea why there were only 8 today, I assume one went tech en route.

It's something of a special day on the Clyde today, the QE2 is back on the river of her birth 40 years to the day from her launch at John Brown's of Clydebank. As part of the celebrations the Red Arrows displayed off the Greenock Esplanade at lunchtime. I think this is the first time in a...
