I go the exact opposite way, precisely because I don’t need that have a deep depth of field in each shot, as I will be taking lots of them anyway, so I will end up having in sharp focus everything I want, regardless of how deep or shallow the DoF in each of them. Therefore, I can afford to use whatever lens I’m using at its sweetest spot aperture, often between ƒ/5.6 and ƒ/8.I even use larger apertures (say, ƒ/3.5 or 4) when I know I’ll want the sharp part to drop quickly at the end, with the rest of the frame being quite blurred. Using a lager aperture value allows me to limit the “feathering” inherent in any photo being taken at a smaller aperture.</blockquote>
