I was playing around a bit with some farmer's market tomatoes, and decided to play around with aperture settings. Here are a couple examples... this is something worth doing, especially with a tripod, that I don't do often enough. I just go wide open (usually f/1.4), with very shallow depth of field, but that's not really always appropriate.

Anyway, here's f/1.4, shutter at 1/50 sec.


Moved to f/2.8, shutter at 1/15 sec.


Then f/5 at 1/5 sec.


f/8 at 1/2 second


And, lastly, f/16 at 2.5 sec.


I think the differences are pretty obvious, as the DOF gets larger and larger.
