That is cool! Where did you get the hearse model or did you make it out of something else?
Well... I actually just made it appear as a hearse...it's really a sedan delivery---the Revell-Monogram "Streetfighter" kit (re-issued "Bad Actor" kit). I also have the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 '59 Miller Meteor that I made into a hearse as well, but that one is done up real nice. I even sprayed some flames on the sides by making a stencil. I'll show more models later on sometime. Glad you like them! 8)
I dunno... I've had several of these kits over the years, all three variations of it (the original-Bad Actor, second release Bad Man and the Streetfighter) and were always molded in white. But who knows, maybe some were molded in color. I also used to have the Johnny Lightning car oddly named "Bad News". Wish I still had that!

Smaller aperture, higher f number equals more depth of field. Very important in closeup photography. Most point and shoot cameras with their small sensors have a lot of depth of field without trying, but as the camera sensor or negative size increases so does the issue with controlling depth of field.
An advance method is to take many photos at different focus points and combine them. Some guys on one of my Flickr groups will combine 100 or more shots to take a photo of a spider! However the results are spectacular. Just look at this one of a jumping spider!
