About Hyperfocal DOF technique

Do you know what Hyperfocal Distance is? If you are shooting landscapes you probably should. Have you ever wondered where to focus on a landscape to render the greatest area of focus from near to infinity? If you know how to figure out your Hyperfocal Distance (HFD), you will know exactly where to focus your lens.

So what is HFD? It is the point of focus that will give you the greatest acceptable sharpness from a point near your camera on out to infinity. The near point is half the distance to your HFD. The wider your lens and the greater the aperture, the larger the area of acceptable sharpness.

This group is for enthusiasts of the Hyperfocal DOF technique.
