I agree, and I want to thank you for being so generous with your time ! Now, I have one picture in mind that I would like to take, and have never gotten right, whenever I come across a field of flowers, I want to take a picture of the whole field with some of the larger foreground flowers in focus , as well as all the other flowers behind those, and then the mountains beyond that should also be in focus, I have seen pictures such as this, and find them so pleasent to look at, but I haven't been able to take a picture like that because I never seem to have enough light to be able to close down the lense to F22 or lower, I use a tripod, and do my best to be very still, even down to setting my camera to take the picture 2 seconds after I have depressed the shutter, but I can't seem to get a picture like I see in magazines, how would you do this ? last time I took several pictures with the focus set at different depths, and then, in PS I cloned in the areas that were in good focus. Now I sense there has to be an easier way ? HELP !!!! I forgot to say, I use a 18mm wide angle lense, perhaps I would need a wider angle lense to get what I have seen ?
