Practice

I actually nearly never shoot with the aperture stopped down prefering to keep the shutter speed as fast as possible and a shallow depth of field. 

Put your money where you mouth is, as they say.  :)

I have volunteered to host the MonoMonday challenge for the month of May.  For MonoMonday May 1st,, #MM171, the theme will be F8 and be there or in alternative Serendipity. I have posted more background and a better description in the BlipFoto Community Challenges section which you can find here.
