<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1325423, member: 29751&quot;]The picture is a very nice one for a background or other artistic endeavor.&nbsp; As someone hinted, with autofocus point and shoot cameras you usually have very limited f-stop capabilities (aperture: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperture" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperture" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperture</a>).&nbsp; The range is usually somewhere around the f/4-f/7 range.&nbsp; BUT, if you have a fancy-schmancy camera/lens with a very high f-stop you can focus almost the entire frame regardless of where the coin lies in the plane.&nbsp; Incidently, the higher the number (e.g. f/22) the less amount of light that the lens let in, and the longer the exposure and need for a tri-pod.&nbsp; The extreme of the concept is a pin-hole camera alla middle-school science classes (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_hole_camera" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_hole_camera" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_hole_camera</a>).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
