Re: [OM] IMG: Sunrise, Moonset

But I did already read it and determined that most of it is immaterial 
to landscape photography.  Merklinger spends a lot of time describing 
cases that are far from typical landscapes (macro or near macro and 
situations where extra emphasis (or underemphasis) is desired in some 
particular part of the frame).  It's understandable that hyperfocal 
doesn't work for those cases and I wouldn't have expected it to.
I predict Moose will find conventional hyperfocal stuff perfectly 
relevant to normal landscapes if he only concentrates on finding a 
suitable CoC for his extraordinary vision and maximum expected print or 
viewing size.
