Sharpness is important in almost all photography genres, but it takes on particular importance in landscape photography, where the goal is often to have everything in the frame as crisp as possible. If you want to improve the sharpness of your landscape photos, check out this helpful video tutorial that features three different techniques for getting those shots as crisp as possible.Â
Coming to you from Dave Morrow, this great video tutorial will show you three techniques for getting sharper landscape images. If you are new to landscape work, one thing to be aware of is that even though you will get more depth of field as you continue to stop your lens down, you will actually start to lose sharpness beyond a certain aperture. Most lenses will stop down to f/22 or f/32, but generally, beyond about f/11 or f/16, diffraction will start robbing your images of sharpness. This is why photographers who want sharpness from the very front of the frame all the way to infinity use focus stacking or, as a middleground, the hyperfocal distance instead of just stopping down the lens as far as possible. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Morrow, and be sure to check out his blog for more.
