evil_bunnY posted:Eh, I thought the whole point of hyperfocal focusing was to shoot stopped enough that your foreground *and* background are focused I am pretty sure you are correct, the hyperfocal distance is the point where there is the largest possible depth of field for that aperture, continuing out to infinity. So basically everything is in focus if it is a sufficiently high aperture. You can figure it out with math, but old manual focus lenses actually sometimes have it marked on the focus scale. I don't think there's anything boring about that, as long as everything in the photo is interesting enough to be in focus. Look at Ansel Adams. The person above who said that the background was just slightly blurry probably just fudged it a little bit and focused slightly too close.

unixbeard posted:i'm not sure if it's creative effect but the white balance/tint looks a bit wacky too me.  old photo for reference better, worse? I don't have a calibrated monitor, but it was kind of yellow and magenta. The sun was setting and the sky was pink and gold, I didn't even manage to capture it very well in the photo.

fenner posted:Crosspost with PAD, I tried to do the same treatment on each one, but they came out differently. Nice shots, I love the water and color. Are you using a neutral density filter on these? I actually have to ask dread head the same question. If you guys are, what brand and how many stops? I have been looking at buying one to slow down day time shooting.
