The classic landscape shot consists of foreground, midground and background.



As we all know there is only one plane of focus.



I have tried every possible variation - hyperfocal, 1/3 into the frame, 1/2 way in, 1/2 way out and everything else in between. The best method is to either focus on the furthest point of interest (which is usually infinity) or just focus at infinity. F8 will work but f13 is a certainty.



This is not just good enough, this is the best.



This notion that there is some magical critical focus point has been brainwashed into some by the likes of Fred M. And the idea that we should strive to find it in the dark using LV is beyond ridiculous.



Let me put it in another way. Show me a photo with this magical focus point. And then show me a comparison of same shot where the focus point was simple at infinity. And then print it.



Only then you will see for yourself.
