Thank you very much Dave and Scott ! You are right Dave, the second photo was
1 inch off the water on a rock using a pocket tripod and the first photo used a normal
size tripod pod with the tripod legs in at 12 inches off the water. The long DOF is the result
of a smaller sensor and not much lens diffraction to speak of at f/8 max for the coolpix P7700.
Take care,
Dwayne Oakes
