It would have been impossible to get this shot without a camera with full movements otherwise: http://www.thomasmcinnis.com/product#3

Beautifully sharp image. You know, nowadays, l lot of photographers including myself, talk about bokeh and shallow depth of field so much, but, honestly, the images that I’ve seen that’ve really made me say “wow”, are images with lots of depth of field. A lesson for me, it seems, is that depth-of-field does not necessarily mean depth-of-image. This video is proof of that.

@facebook-704930734:disqus I, just by moving the focal point the final images will have slightly different apparent zoom levels, that’s just the physics of focusing (you can see that from the different sizes of the images in the video once they are aligned), so you’d always need to align the layers in photoshop anyway even if you were on a hench tripod using a cable release, to the fact the images would shift a little won’t make much difference.
I think it’s a really nice final image.

He then also would have been able to have a faster shutter speed for crisp waves.

Won’t diffraction sort of kick in by then?  F8 and more pics to stack instead?
