Uh... sure it can... In the DOF zone it will be crystal clear IF... It depends on MANY factors such a light, shutter speed, film speed (er, uh, ISO setting), autofocus setting, manual focus, type of lens, type of glass in the lense, whether the lens is clean, whether the camera is handheld or s

Agreed, but I was really only using the sports analogy as an example of f-stop use because I assumed it would be familiar to people and they could visualize what was being described much better. ;) The ultimate point being that f-stop isn't the "controlling factor" for sharper photos though it'

Erik is right, The higher f-stop of 22 will increase depth of field, not sharpness of focus. Though it's related, it's not quite the same. Your focus is not controlled entirely by f-stop, only the DOF and amount of light allow into the camera. This is why sports photographers use a low/large f

I think it's the smoke left from the meteoroid as it cooled rapidly after incandescence, hence the reason for the tapering of the train. My theory is simple. As the meteoroid cooled (directly after incandescence) it produced less smoke, and therefore the train seems to taper to nothingness. The
