How to focus on landscape photography?

1 first of all, you need to know that taking a landscape photo requires a large depth of field to ensure that the whole picture is clear. Then the first point is to have a relatively small aperture. Generally speaking, f8-f 16 is recommended. This aperture range can not only get enough depth of field, but also is usually the aperture range with the best imaging quality.

2. The focus of the first third to the last two thirds is clear. And the closer you get to the focus, the clearer it becomes. Therefore, the ideal position of focus should choose the lower third of the picture as the best.

3. Adjust the infinity mark on the focus ring to the depth of field of the aperture. The focal length used at this time is hyperfocal distance, which is a little farther than infinity. Using hyperfocal focusing, the maximum depth of field can be obtained, and the scene from the foreground to the distance is very clear.

4. There is also the use of "hyperfocal distance" to shoot the scenery, which can ensure the front and back details of the picture and the recorded information is complete enough. The specific hyperfocal distance distance depends on the parameters of the lens, usually on the focus ring.

5. Determine the distance of hyperfocal distance and then check the corresponding aperture number. Switch the lens to manual focus, adjust the aperture to a predetermined value, focus on the nearest hyperfocal distance focus, and then take a landscape photo with clear details. In the same way, you can keep the plane position unchanged, take photos with different focus points, and finally make post-synthesis.

6. When shooting a large scene, you can set the focus in the middle scene, and generally use a small aperture (between 8 ~ 16). Because the depth of field of the small aperture is relatively long, it includes the foreground, the middle scene and its infinity in a clear range. Photometry can use center focusing or spot metering.
