[QUOTE="hark, post: 721062, member: 13196"] Dawg Pics is right. You can lower your f/stop and still have a decent amount of DoF. Do you have a DoF app on your cell phone? I use Simple Depth of Field (which is a paid app), but there are really good free ones out there, too. I plugged in some arbitrary numbers. Keep in mind I only based this on you being 150 feet from your focus point. Most likely you were much further away - and that would increase your DoF quite a bit. The first pic is your focal length at f/11. In the second, I changed the aperture to f/7.1. Make sure you focus about 1/3 of the way into your subject. There is a greater DoF BEHIND your focus point compared to the area in front of it. You can see the details on the diagrams below. In the first diagram, you have a total of 70 feet in focus.
