This is a picture I took of my neighbor's road late in the afternoon. I used a 75-300 mm zoom lens set somewhere around 100-150 mm. The aperature was either F/16 or F/32. The telephoto effect belies the depth of the picture - the bottom edge is maybe 6 or 7 feet from the camera, while the end of the road is at least 100 feet away.
I finally got a picture of a hummingbird!
Taken late in the afternoon, shortly before the road picture above. Zoom lens between 75 and 100 mm. I'm... still totally at a loss as to how I managed to focus on the background with this one.
I think I took and printed this picture sometime during my first semester of photo. Obviously excellent depth of field. This picture comes close to what I call well focused: In the 4000x2600 scan, details remain even when viewed at 100% size on my computer monitor.
This was a picture I took of my grandparent's anniversary clock. It was dark inside, and the exposure was either 1 or 2 seconds @ F/16 - enough for 1 or 2 complete rotations of the armature.
Lots and lots of contrast! This is a night picture; The light is about 15 feet off to the left of the picture, and the exposure was 30 seconds at F/8 or F/16.
