Feeling of Distance

Keeping everything in focus near to far. To make this obvious, look for an outdoor scene that recedes far into the distance, and that includes objects at varying distances from the camera; for example 10 feet, 20 feet and 40 feet away. Do not include water, since it usually does not have sharp detail, unless there are boats and other objects in the water. The subjects in the photograph should be clearly illuminated so that the detail and sharpness are clearly seen.

To achieve the necessary depth of field, set your lens to its smaller opening, such as f/16 or f/22. Then focus on a point one third of the way between the nearest and farther subjects you want to be in focus.

To accomplish this photograph, I found an alley at a shopping center with a very nice landscape. I decided to use it to demonstrate this technique.
