What range is the F-stop? How should one use it? Getting the camera close to the stuff with Macro is not a problem for me. Im used  to it. It's the mid-long range shots .. say 2 feet to 20 feet that challenges me.It is a wonderful photo with the trees three feet away with good detail, but what does it do to that same shot if you reduce the F stop or increase it? To simply state the value of 8 that was used in that shot does not tell me the minimum/Maximum F stop range and does not help me decide how to use it.Bear with me as I work through these questions. I started with a 35mm Pentrax Film and thought I did good. But eventually I got into digital a little with a tiny macro 3 meg camera and a sony camcorder that does ok but not stellar.Here is a picture lifted from a Camcorder Video taken of the Gettysburg High Water Monument (Center of the Union Battle Line approx 1 miles or a little more from Little Round Top) on a absolutely flawless April day.[IMG]http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/224/distantshot5sd.jpg[/IMG]
