Double-distance focusing; find the closet point in the image you want in focus and double that distance, relative to your camera position, for a focus point. Easier, faster and arguably more accurate than hyper-focal/i/3 in focusing.

THANK YOU! I'm so glad that other people are taking the same approach as I have been afraid to divulge due to the obsessed nature of many "serious" landscape photographers. But, honestly, if the extreme corners or foreground of your images aren't perfect, that's usually a visual HELP, not a hindrance! Leading the viewer's eye is one of the most powerful tools that a photographer has, and it can be ruined by over-thinking focus technique, and needlessly focus stacking or making sure the foreground/corners are tack sharp, when the main subject is in the central zone of the image...

good common sense advice. Given the high number of pixels my camera has (Sony A7R iii) another "trick" I employ sometimes when I cannot focus stack but need a deeper depth of focus is to simply shoot the scene wider than I need (i.e. 20mm when 24mm is the framing I want). As we all know, the wider the shot, the deeper the focus range is. Then I just crop in post and still have a very large image.

Haven't enjoyed a vlog as much in a long time, welcome back. Hitting a subject which everyone struggles with, simplifying the knowledge and making it understandable in your own style. And i must say you yourself look a lot brighter and cheerful. 😁😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
