Hyperfocal distance
Hi all....I took some landscape pics the other evening & was very dissapointed at the sharpness of them when downloaded onto the computer. I used a tripod & remote so I took possible camera shake out of the equation & I focused manually, therefore discounting any autofocus problem there might have been.
I then read in a mag that there's something called "hyperfocal distance" that can be calculated; the mag didn't go into it in depth but said that as a general rule of thumb you should aim to focus at about 1/3rd of the way into your scene, (assuming you want a deep depth of field), as I did.
I would like some advice as to where any of you 'pro's have best success in focusing for landscape photography & ask if anyone has any further explanation to the term 'hyperfocal distance'.
Thanks,
Al.
PS: Thanks for all other replies to my threads.
