  1. The only problem I have with this diagram is the relation between subject and background at f8. At that aperture it's quite easy to get the foreground and the background in focus, that's why f8 is a good starting point for landscapes. At f22 and f32 you get a fair bit of diffraction which can soften the image. Of course if your subject is very close to the camera then a higher f-stop has to be used if you want the background to be in focus as well.
