And sometimes, a subject that one would think needs deep DOF, actually
doesn't.
Here are some real aerial photos taken with a tilt shift lens to
simulate shallow DOF. I think they are beautiful

Sensor size or film size will affect DOF for a given angle of view.
APS-C will actually provide more DOF at a given angle of view than 35mm.
Of course, Shel is right here, despite his lack of coffee <g>. Some
photos are best executed with minimal DOF. Others will benefit from
deep DOF. It's al a matter of executing one's vision. I frequently
shoot wide open with a 35/2 or even a 50/1.4. And I've had reason to
shoot at f32 with my 300/4 on the 6x7. There is no right or wrong way
to produce a good photograph. I would think that is very obvious.

more to it than my pre morning coffee brain can understand. Perhaps you
can elaborate upon it, specifically, why is a certain range of DOF
important for "good" photographs, what is a good photograph, and what
does
sensor or film size have to do with anything? Thank you for your
indulgence.

Most good photographs will require at least some DOF (F.4 - F.8) for
APS-sized sensors.
