Really nice shots. I love how you are able to get so much in focus and bring out all the tones and details. I wish some time you'd share more about how you take shots like this. Are they handheld or tripod. Do you use focus stacking. Thanks for the post.

Thank you, waltchilds. You can see the exifs to all my images. It's a free plugin for all major browsers and all serious photographers should have it.

If you see 1/200-sec at f/11, that normally means it's full flash. If you see lower shutter speed in Av (aperture priority) mode, that means natural light shots, mostly on tripod.
