Shooting with Minox is a very good way to learn how to use a small-sensor camera to good effect. Some Minox work from 1999 and 2000:

Deep DoF is just as appealing as shallow DoF. It all depends upon how you use it.
Godfrey, I esp like the shots from London Nov 2002 -- the kind of photography that appeals to me, and quite unlike your more recent work that you've posted on the list the short time I've been here.
Thank you for the compliment, UncaMikey.
I have a moderately broad range of interests, photographically speaking, and go through moods and periods of working on different styles.
That London trip was fun ... stretching a miniscule 8x11mm piece of film in a fixed focus camera that has an f/5.6 lens to do what I wanted in available light indoors/in the outdoor evening light was a challenge!
:-)
As for DOF, I am just now learning extreme DOF with my new FA J 18-35mm, lots of fun. Nothing postable yet, but it certainly has got me thinking and experimenting.
Keep going! Keep exploring new photo ideas and techniques. My predilection is swinging from tele work to wide angle, from scenics and still life to more naturalistic, wider FoV ideas right now.
