The corridor is about 9 inches. The camera was laid on the table in front of the opening and a 3 second shutter delay. Most of the buildings on the layout do have lighting. I did adjust the white balance for this shot but there are only a few choices and LED lighting isn't one of them. I think I shot this with many different balances and I thought this was the best. I'm aware of the D of F and how that affects focus but I don't remember the specifics of this shot, just wanted to show something that I was hoping to improve upon. Some of the shots I've tried are through the windows of the building and I can't get anything to focus except the exterior of the building. I've probably trashed most of the bad pics because I can't find any at this time. My camera pics what it wants to focus on and it is very difficult to make it fixate on what I want it to fixate on, if that makes any sense. Thanks for your input, apreciated.
You would benefit immensely from using a tripod with a lateral extension arm, especially one that can be set at any angle, not just at a right angle. This would kill two birds with one stone. But, you will need to operate the camera in Manual shooting mode.
You would be able to manually focus the lens where you want it to focus. The shutter delay timer is usually just as good as a remote shutter switch. Just set the delay time so that any tripod vibrations created by your touching the camera have sufficient time to dissipate. I usually use 10 seconds.

Once you begin using a tripod, then you can capture images for macro stacking.
