Before anyone mentions it, I am already well aware that the DoF is way, way off in this shot, as is the problem with several of my shots. With that said, here is the problem I am having with obtaining the correct DoF. Whenever I increase it, it causes darker photo's, so I have to decrease my shutter speed and increase my ISO. But for moving shots, I can only only decrease the shutter speed so far before things start to blur.
For shots like this, inside a lightbox that already has 3 flourescent tube bulbs on it, it's hard to increase the DoF without getting dark shots or cranking the ISO up insanely high to avoid that. I tried it on 1600 and the grain was too much for me.
I don't have a flash yet, but that's my next planned purchase. I'm hoping being able to bounce a flash will allow me more light, so I can increase my DoF. Would this be a solution?
Any other DoF advice on ways to improve it, would be helpful.
C&C for this photo, taken tonight, would be great as well. It was very dark as well, and I had to lighten it up considerably in Lightroom.
