Coming to you from Perea Photography, this amazing video details the simple process for getting sharp images in landscape photography. There are usually several ways to get a sharp image, with costs increasing as you increase the area of acceptable sharpness. Using a narrow aperture is the first step, but you will have problems with diffraction if you go too far. The next step is to calculate the hyperfocal distance to maximize the area of acceptable sharpness. This is usually enough. However, if you want the absolute best front-to-back sharpness, you’ll want to switch to focus. This requires the most work, but it will also give the best results. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Perea.
