Obviously you\'re free to shoot however you want. The reason for my comment is that by stopping down so far (farther than necessary in my opinion), it forced you to push up the ISO, or slow down the shutter speed, or both, neither of which is generally desirable.
Your explanation is that you were experimenting. Fine.
Not really sure what your getting at here because 1) the planes are stationary and indoors and 2) he was using a tripod, so what exactly is the penalty for longer shutter speeds ?
In this case probably not much of a penalty. But in general, I think it\'s best to avoid really slow shutter speeds unless they serve some purpose in the photo. In the case of these photos, I could see no such purpose being served. Nor could I see any purpose being served by the very small apertures, particularly f/22 in the last shat. So I was curious to know why he\'d chosen shoot at such small apertures, and the answer was essentially that he was experimenting to see what the result would look like. Fine.
