[OM] IMG: Sunrise, Moonset

Directly on focus Moose,

<<Take the example I just used. Lets say I decide to do a gallery or 
book of the weather vanes I shot over the years. (Farfetched for 
weather vanes, but two of my three books have come from images 
collected <<from over the years.) I have a good shot of this one, in 
focus. I've added it to the existing comparison.

<<<Had I used hyperfocal for 'good enough' focus, it would be soft at 
this size. Taken with the 14-150 @ 150. Had I had the 70-300 at the 
time, I wouldn't have needed such a crop, but that's part of the point: 
I <<<didn't, but shot for the best result, no matter what as yet 
unknown use I might put it to.




Merklinger would  agree with the Moose technique.  I haven't yet read 
an obituary for the hyperfocal distance however.
Dr. Focus and Merklinger have not yet come to blows but we shall see.


"4. If we want anything at infinity to be recorded sharply, focus at 
infinity"  see pg 37.
