Howdy folks. Need some depth of field advice. I'm videoing small flying insects in slow mo, aperture around f8-f11. Depth of field is, obviously, my biggest challenge. Using a longer lens expands the plane of focus a little but that requires moving away from the subject and losing clarity of detail. Is there anything I'm missing in how to get a larger depth of field doing macro video of stuff that moves very fast? I've z-stacked macro images before but video is a different kettle of fish. Aware I'm probably just fighting against the laws of physics here.
