Some of your DOF's on the pictures are really narrow. You can increase this by increasing your fstop [if tripodded], moving further away and decreasing your FOV. That is, assuming you're on a DLSR.
you can change your f-stop on most point and shoot cameras also.
f11 for a big wide landscape. boards at f4
Very true, I recently found the exif data on phone shots, its fun to see what it does automatically.
I chose f/4.0 for the DOF effect
and partly because of the dark scene in the room, otherwise at F8-F11, the pics were becoming quite blurry. These pics are not going into a data-sheet
But I like the sharp pics that you have posted. What gear did you use? a tripod, a macro lens?
Tripod, huge (150cm
3) light tent, 1.3KW of lighting and a 50mm prime [macro'ish] lens. Not yet tried the new lights yet though, will probably be on the HashCoins Ares.
