Re: focusing for landscape photography | |
Hi Dave. what lens are you loosing? you may be misunderstanding things.
1. it is best to shoot between f11 and f16. closer to f11 if you are getting enough dof.
2. As for autofocusing, if the lens is an autofocus lens, then it always focuses wide open, ie an f2.8 focuses at f2.8, even when set to f22. the aperture then closes to 22 when you press the shutter.
3. If you are using a manual focus lens, use live view with 10x magnfication. you can focus 1/3 of the way in to the scene, then stop down to shoot. alternatively look up the parafocal distance for the focal lenght you are using.
4. another option is to do your focusing stopped down, and then check both your near and far field at 10x live view to makes sure you have very good focusing.
Hope that helps.
