How to FOCUS in Landscape Photography - Get SHARP Photos

Catching Focus from front to back is essential in landscape photography to get sharp photos. In this video, I'll show how I focus with my camera and how I get everything in focus from the foreground to infinity in my landscape photography. There are several different techniques to focus but very little techniques to get everything sharp and in focus from back to front.

I really appreciate the clear explanation of critical concepts. The fact that I am also shooting with a Sony a7iii makes it particularly valuable to me. More than anything, I appreciate the pace at which the information is presented. It makes it easy for me to follow and even to take notes.

Great explanation. We don’t want technical but simple explanation. When we are in the field that’s how we photograph. Thanks for a great vlog.

Great video, a journey in learning that is constant. Never boring I think.

[jvalenta]

Mads, great video. You are one of the best landscape photography educator on the web, Thanks for your work.

This was a fantastic video. I figured things out that I hadn’t before. Thank you kindly.

Omg I never knew about the cross hair technique, thank you so much Mads!

[SimonBoothPhotography]

These are really difficult films to make and your delivery is very admirable. It was once pointed out to me many moons that depth of field isn't affected by focal length as long as the subject remains the same size in the frame with each focal length and the same aperture. I didn't believe it but when you pixel peep at the distant part of the wide shot, he has a point. But that's science and I don't pretend to or want to understand it!

Thanks for all your vids they are extremely useful for someone like myself just starting out. I have the Sony a7iii and can’t seem to figure out how you are configuring your camera for flexible spot focus then zoom in and get the crosshairs to move to chosen focus area.

Thanks again for another great review, I really like fact that you give us information from other Youtubers as a reference. You’re one of the few that seem to do this out of passion more than profit.

Great video Mads, and a fantastic explanation of focusing.

[amerphoto]

Excellent Mads! You really explained focusing in simple, laymen terms. The in camera examples are what people need to see to better understand the technique. Seeing is believing. Well done!

This is the stuff that keeps me up at night.... Thank you for explaining it so well :)
