Thanks. I shot most of these at f11-13 intentionally. I had to go up to a 1 second exposure using iso 100, but that's what a tripod is for. Pumps off.

I would use a smaller aperture for greater DOF but even at f11 I am concerned about diffraction creeping in. For those who are not familiar with diffraction, here's a link with good visual aids.

What I should really do is what several here have done and stack images shot at a wider aperture to get essentially the entire subject in focus. I want a rail system so I can make small camera position adjustments between shots.
