Thanks for sharing. I figured that f11, which Jeff used, would provide a deeper depth of field, but it's not as deep as I had imagined. Edit: Turns out the photo was taken a half mile away, so it's still rather forgiving in regards to focus.

You can definitely see how deep the DoF was in the shots in the article; it makes sense that Widener was more concerned about the shutter speed than the focus. I was just arguing that the zone/hyperfocal focus techniques just wouldn't be very useful here, considering he's far enough away and using an SLR. Close quarters with a manual rangefinder and "f8 and be there" would suffice.
