I've found some daylight situations where the combination of F22 and
1/200 works well for 400 speed film - yielding nice depth of field
and no motion blur. There's also something to be said for shooting in
conditions other than bright sunlight. Push one stop to 800 speed
and you can take handheld shots just before and after sunset, which
is when I get most of my favorite scenic images. There is a lot of
beauty out there that doesn't take place at high noon. Jim Harp
