Doing that will give you a large depth of field but not the largest possible. What you need is to focus at the Hyperfocal Distance, this will give you the maximum possible depth of field. Using the hyperfocal distance can also allow you to get a large DoF with a wider aperture - for example...

Sports Illustrated have 2 in their pool. It was a special order only piece which is no longer available due to the materials used being banned on health grounds

Vista is bigger than XP to start with but not that much. The bulk of the difference will be things like System Restore backups, the hiberfil.sys file that the RAM gets dumped to in sleep mode etc. Something like TreeSize Free will let you see where the disk is being used if you want to track...

FoS tickets booked as usual, just a real pain that it's the same weekend as RIAT at RAF Fairford :(

That's the important thing. They're not as bad as Toyota when it comes to interference from Tokyo but they've already lost a number of key folk over the years (Dave Richards, Geoff Willis among others) because they've not got on with Tokyo. It will be interesting to see what Brawn's...

As promised, how to do archiving (sort of) in Lightroom: http://www.lightroomkillertips.com/2007/monday-video-archiving-photos/

There's a very good video tutorial on how to achive this. Unfortunately it's on my other PC and I don't have a link to the original site on this one. If I remember I'll dig it out when I get home.

My understanding is that Photobox use Fujifilm Professional photo papers, ie proper silver halide based stuff that is exposed to light to generate the image rather than having a pigment applied to it as you need to do with the Ilford paper. While I suppose there might be a market for...

Excellent stuff. Bit of a slow starter but the excessively detailed "house" in the middle had me in stitches.

If you want to put a frame on your image then your only option is to export from Lightroom and use PS. However if you only want a copyright mark then you can do everything in Lightroom, there's a copyright watermark checkbox on the export tab which embeds whatever watermark is set up in the...

I'm an IT consultant with a multi national IT services company, technically I'm an Information Architect but that normally solicits a "Huh?" from everyone so I tend to stick to IT consultant. My speciality is in enterprise scale data management so big boxes (multi terabyte databases) and high...

Shutter priority's the way to go. For prop stuff probably 1/250s is as fast as you want to go, you can go slower if you want but don't go too slow unless your panning technique is up to it. Anything quick you'll need to look at 1/1000s if there's enough light. Unfortunately you can't expect...

What's scaring me is just how many of the minor characters I can name or at least identify the one episode they've been in....

The departure is going to be mental to say the least given that it's a fair bet she won't be back on the Clyde. Even a normal cruise ship departure attracts a large crowd to the Esplanade to the point where parking is near impossible unless you're there at least half an hour before the...
