While DOF calculators are useful, there is another way - simply stop down the lens until the entire picture look like it is in focus in the viewfinder. (depending on the camera, you may have to change a setting to allow you to preview the image) If you are anywhere near as bad as I am at estimating distances, that is a far more useful technique.
