Best plae to focus

[rickp1]

Hey guys,
Quick question, I'm shooting some landscapes and spots around town.
The shots have a foreground, a middle and a background, so sometimes when I focus, the AF points want to focus on the foreground, some times on the center and sometimes on the background. I want as much in focus as possible
So when shooting large landscapes where is the best place to place the AF points?

What I'm thinking is the foreground with a high f stop number so the camera focuses the middle and background.

Thanks
R.

Where to Focus in Landscape Photography

After reading the article that RichardTaylor posted, I'm thinking there's a couple different questions to answer.
"Where should I focus in a landscape picture?" is one question, and you should read the article Richard posted.
"Where should I focus to keep the most things in focus?" is another. The answer to this question, is the hyper-focal distance, which isn't always practical depending on the depth and distance of the photograph. I have a tool for finding the hyper-focal distance in the link below.

Absolutely right!

I have a tool on my iphone which I use to caluculate hyperfocal distance anywhere!
