I decided to do an experiment shooting a Nikon 35/1.8 lens totally stopped down to f/22...on a Nikon D7500. I used aperture priority and auto ISO.

I recently posted an experiment using the same setup while shooting totally wide open at f/1.8.

One of the early things I found, especially in shade, is that the shutter speed dropped to 1/25, making it more difficult to get sharp photos.

I opened the aperture to f/16, then f/13. This dropped the ISO to a better area.

I am posting photos that I like from the shoot.

In the future, if I want a broad depth of field while shooting handheld, I will probably go with f/11. Some will likely say they already knew this without this experiment. I am aware that f/8 to f/11 is the most commonly recommended area for landscape photography.

I hope someone will be able to enjoy at least one of these photos taken yesterday at Vines Park, Georgia.

These are all great shots Dean. The first one is my favorite. I like the subtle colors and the back-lighting on the trees.

excellent, all. I have this lens and have used it for landscaping but looking at these, I can improve my work. Back in the day I used to shoot outdoor daylight landscapes(film cam) at auto ISO, f22, shutter 1/125 for max depth of field. Now with digital that is not the norm and I am not clear as to why. Any thoughts?

Thank you. I normally shoot zoom lenses on a tripod when I care about the results, using f/8 to f/16. After this experiment I will likely only do handheld at f/11 or wider open.

Fantastic shots Dean. Makes me want to rethink shooting stopped down especially at f16. Thank you.
