The other thing I should mention is that the smaller JPEG file is heavily sharpened, so things will naturally look like they are in 'focus' - the focus does begin to fade by the time you reach the third boat in the original RAW file.

Hey - thanks for the comment, I'm glad you took the time out to look at that photo!

The thing you have to remember about f-stops is that they vary from types of cameras. Traditional 35mm will stop down around f22, but a compact camera stops down around f8 (which is similar to f22). So it was indeed at f4, but stopped down halfway for that particular camera. I've jumped around with a few cameras over the years - most of them have been 35mm, but a couple are compact digitals - including the Olympus C8080 that was used for that particular shot.

thanks for stopping by my page
