Hi everyone.
I've just finished reading Gunther's ebook and I've already done 4 holy grail tests with LR & LRTimelapse with promising results
All were done at f8 or narrower.
On the book, Gunther recomends always shooting wide open to avoid flicker. My questions are:
How wide is wide? I can go as wide as f1.4 on my Canon L 24mm.
But, if I go that wide, wouldn't I be compromising my depth of field on a landscape shoot?
If I was just taking a single picture of a landscape I'd usually set my aperture as narrow as possible to get everything in focus (eg: foreground, middle ground, background and sky). But this advice of shooting as wide as possible goes against my knowledge of photo theory. Where should I focus? How do I avoid getting planes out of focus on my image if I go too wide?
Please advice.
Regards,
G.
