Large Group Shots I'm going to take a group photo of our K-9 unit and their handlers during the early morning hours, and possibly one at night on the Vegas strip. Any tips to making sure they are ALL in focus? Never had to do such a large group, they won't all be in the same plane. Help! Thanks

Hi Wendy, Use as much DOF (depth of field) as you can. You should be able to shoot at f/11 or even f/16 in the morning even if you have to bump up your ISO to 800 or higher. The challenge with the unequal planes is tricky as you have to be aware of where the shadows are falling an if 1 person is standing in the path of the light that will cast a shadow on the person next or behind him. Using a ladder and shooting from a higher perspective may be a viable option and will help to put everyone closer to the sam plane but this would mak it uneven for the canines (dogs). Think about angles and positioning as the handlers may drop to a knee and create a tighter plane. Hope these ideas help - Carlton
