I posted a thread two days earlier and since it has become a bit old I would like to post this new thread to get up to date with what has happened. For those of you who have an old manual SLR film camera, I have just taken some shoots of maximum depth of field.

I used an aperture of F22 and focusing the lens on my object foreshadowing the background, I took the picture. However, did I needed to set a minimum shutter speed? I just adjusted the shutter speed until the light meter was in the centre (i.e right amount of natural light). When I took the shots, the afternoon was also cloudy. Did I do it correctly?
