Am I mistaken, or is this basically a scenery challenge? With a shallow DOF there are any number of interesting things to focus on, but with a large DOF it is basically panaramic landscapes.

I think architecture is as good or a better subject for deep depth of field...
Makes me think of shots that will have comments like "How did you manage to get it all in focus?". The real challenge is to compose the impossible, or make it look like you did the impossible.
time to finish reading jmsetzler's "exposure 1.1" pdf I downloaded last night
page 16 "preparing for deep depth of field"
and page 18 "hyperfocal distance"
I guess I will have to pull my sony out of the closet for this one.
Why? You just have to use a small aperture like f/16 and focus about 1/3 of the way in your frame and you'll be fine. The easy way to do this in the Rebel is to use the A-DEP mode.

Neener neener. With my Sigma 15-30mm set @ 15mm and F8.0 ... everything from 2.3 feet and beyond will be in focus :) using hyperfocal charts. 0.58 feet and beyond set at F22. neener neener :P

so whats the ideal ap for deep dof.
I did a lot of testing for my threes entry shot and feel like I got good practice for this one. What are others thinking?

The smaller the better (or the larger the number the better). My camera's best is f 8.0, so I'll be using that! I expect this to be a lovely challenge to judge! I can't wait to see everyone's work!
David Timms's username is f-32--wouldn't it be great if his camera actually achieved that?

yeah but I shot on 45 (my smallest) in the bright beaming sunlight & they all came out dark.
Ok so some of you are saying that deep DOF is having everything in focus. I suppose I'm just different... IMO I feel this pic qualifies more so than a pic with everything in focus.
