Thanks Craig. I shot this from a pier, so there was no foreground or mid ground to be had .
Hey Greg,
But that's Craig's point exactly, and that's why there was no reason to even use a TSE lens here. Where the increased DOF from a TSE will help you is when there are close up objects and then mid to background objects that you would also want in focus. A shot like this, just shoot it at 14mm at f13 and crop it to pano if you want to. There really isn't much going on in it anyway and as I look at it I find it lacking any visual point of interest.
TSE's as I am sure you know are specialty lenses for a special purpose and intent. They aren't a magical lens that simply creates a master piece because it was shot with a TSE. I know you don't think that, but unfortunately both here in the Landscape forum and the Nikon forum there are many that seem to think it. Shooting with a TSE lens, won't magically make a boring shot great, neither will it turn a photographer into a master photographer.
I suggest that if you want to practice using your TSE, get out to Joshua Tree, or get to a beach with a bunch of rocks and such that you can really get some use out of that lens.
Jim
