This photo is of an antique tea cup I saw at a local museum recently.

18-55mm kit lens @ 48mm
f5.3
1/80
I like the way the photo came out, but would like it more with more depth of field. What do you guys think?

It's a nice photo but yeah, it could benefit from a bit more depth of field. It's also just a tad soft. Did you use a tripod? I'm guessing no since you say this was in a museum.
I think, if you must hand hold the camera (and can't use flash) that I would bump the ISO up enough (or use AUTO ISO) so that you can shoot at between f/11 and f/16 at no less than 125th of a second. Preferably f/11 because diffraction starts to rear it's ugly head beyond that point. However, if you must maximize depth of field then I'd use f/16.

I'll be honest...I tend to forget to adjust the apature when I start taking photos. That said, while post processing on the photo doesn't show it, it was a tad on the dim side in there, which without a tripod doesn't lend itself to handholding a smaller apature. Maybe I would have been OK raising the exposure in post. I'll have to work on some better setting choices.It's a nice photo but yeah, it could benefit from a bit more depth of field.
