Here's the dilemma I had. I was up on a walking path shooting down on some rapids. Picture the following:
WATER WATER WATER WATER WATER WATER 2
ROCK ROCK BIRD ROCK ROCK BIRD ROCK ROCK 1
ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK 3
ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK 4
ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK 5
The numbers on the right indicate how close they are to the camera. The higher the number, the closer to the camera.
Now as you can see, level 1 is the bottom of the rocks before the water. But because rapids are rapids they were actually higher in the air and therefore closer to the camera.
So what would happen is I would tilt the front lens to focus on the rock at #5, then focus to get the water (since it was at the bottom of the glass) and repeat until the top of the glass and the bottom of the glass were in focus. The problem was the rocks (and two birds) were out of focus. I had no idea how to fix this so I just stopped down.
Any ideas?
