FOREGROUND

For foreground photographs you can often use the lowest f-stop for your lens, letting in the maximum amount of light. This will allow you to use a shorter shutter speed, although we’re still talking often a minute or more. But that’s pretty quick in the dark!

If you are focus stacking your images, you may want to consider using a higher f-stop number for a wider depth of field. This will require a longer shutter speed but fewer photographs to achieve optimum focus.

If you are introducing artificial light (i.e. light painting) or are in an area with a lot of ambient light, then you may be able to use a high f-stop (for example, f/5.6 or f/8), getting pretty much the entire scene in focus.

Looking back at the town of Lubec, Maine, from Campobello Island, New Brunswick. The lighthouse in the foreground is Mulholland Point Lighthouse on Campobello.
