a fine depiction of great artwork iX - Well Done . . .

More flowers,

Is there a simple non-technical reason why only the middle distance of that pic is in focus???

I expect that the camera was fairly close to what is in focus. What is beyond will very quickly fall out of focus.
If the camera had been further back more would have been in focus. (But you wouldn't get that close-up detail.)

ISO 400 version was much clearer

That's cause it's low light, & the low light demands a faster speed.

That was handy, because at ISO 100 only the brighter stars of the Plough show.
I'm finding out by trying the non-auto settings. With shutter priority I got pitch black :)

Take a look at this nice pictorial "Interactive Depth of Field Tutorial".

I've got this mental picture of Ice rushing in and out of his garage and tripping up and falling in the pond!!!!

he he

That could very well happen! I couldn't see anything in the viewfinder when shooting the stars - it was pot luck guided by the smiling gargoyle in the first photo. Just for you Chris, I'm posting a photo of my pond as I stumbled about in the dark earlier...

I'm beginning to wish I hadn't asked!!

All I want is to take a pic and its ALL in focus, is that possible?

That focal length setting of 18mm is the wide-angle setting for the lens I have been using tonight
(remember you said "but 18mm focal length? thats millions of light years away....."). This wide angel is "the opposite" of
"zooming in" and will just about give an all-in-focus photo (including stars millions of light years away).

1. Move further away from your subject.
2. Decrease the aperture (iris) size (use a higher F-Stop: EG: instead of f4 use f8 or f16 etc..)
3. Use a different lens if possible depending on subject and your distance from it.
4. Use a flash.

If you have an automatic camera and only have the option to change shutter speed then decrease that and the camera will compensate by decreasing the aperture size - hence making more of the photo sharp.

It's a complex issue. Sorry :o)

I am sure you have already said what your camera is but tell us again.
