DOF Hyperfocal - Camera Shooting with wide angle lens:

What the heck is DOF Hyperfocal? This is a popular pro photography technique shooting great depth of field with a wide angle lens. Usually I'm using a 15-30 mm zoom lens on a digital 35 camera. Max out the f-stop usually around f22 and have the subject just inches from the lens with a complimentary background and bang...image with impact.

Use a DOF hyperfocal chart to correspond distance with aperture helps determine the focus. I prefer manual focus as a must. Most cameras will allow you to turn off Auto Focus.

Get on the same prospective plane as the subject also helps improve the impact of the scene. It's simple.
