David Meunch, John Fielder, and other photographers of their cut have occation t o display photos where the foreground is only a few inches away, with a backgrou nd of distant mountains. No doubt some of the basic rules for focus and camera movements apply to these. But I have to wonder if there is a complicated nature to these. I believe Fielder mentions of a photo with columbines fiiling the lo wer left of his frame and a mountain backdrop, that he nearly tied his bellows i nto a pretzel. Muench has at least a couple of shots that seem to almost exceed the limits of DOF as I have come to understand them. (An example is here http: //www.muenchphotography.com/y-5446.html). I would like to give a try at some of these perspectives and would wonder if there might be some helpful advice that might save me some time and film as I learn? Thanks for the help.
