Hyperfocal distance

[DanHD]

I know this method is used extensively in nature photography,

but how many of you really use hyperfocal distance calculators when shooting?

I recently had to use one, when I was shooting a racetrack.

I was positioned at one corner of the race tack, and I wanted the closest cars in focus as well as the cars on the opposite side of the track.

I ended up sliding the depth of field closer to the camera while still maintaining close focus at infinity.


I was really proud of myself lol =]

I've never heard of this before today. Interesting technique!
