The landscapes are just outstanding. Great shots.
f/8 is the right aperture but you can make significant improvements in
the near DoF for the 24mm. If you set the infinity symbol on the focus
ring to the rightmost f/8 mark you'll be at the hyperfocal distance for
f/8 which has, for 24mm, everything in focus from 1.1 meter to infinity.
Actually, I'd suggest you be just slightly more conservative and set
the focus at the 3 meter mark. Then you'll only have focus from 1.5
meters to infinity but will be a better guarantee that infinity will
actually be in focus with a bit better resolution.
