Thanks Inkista. Your insight helps. It also creates a few more questions. Is there a diffrence between hyperfocal and just making sure you are focused right for DOF shots? I wasn't specifically looking for hyperfocal, but rather just want to make sure that I can have the camera focused from front of shot (or close to it) to back of shot. The two objectives may be the same thing, but I don't know the difference. What I am hearing is that in order to shoot DOF from front to back in focus I need to do the calculation (or carry a chart) and focus on an item that distance away, recompose, and shoot. Doesn't sound liek there is an easy way around this until I build up some experience with the technique. Thank everyone for the info- it helps me know what I need to do.
