Wow.. that's a great shot! My camera goes up to ISO 3200, which is what I was trying to shoot at, but even then I was only able to stop down to f/8 or so which didn't give me much depth of field. Tomorrow I will turn my whites up on my Kessils to get more light which should help quite a bit.Depends on the camera. No need to shoot wide open if you have a lens that has a wide aperture. Stop down as much as you need within the limits of your camera.
Take this shot for example. This is a full size shot, uncropped, shot at f/45 at ISO 6400. The camera can go beyond ISO 6400 but I didn't need the extra stops of light. The depth of field is very narrow since it's shot at 1:1 with a Raynox 250M in front of the lens. Shot at 10,000k kelvin as set in camera. Pearlberry polyps on the edge are lighter in colors than anywhere else on the coral.
