So this week's challenge is to use hyperfocal distance - get EVERYTHING in focus.
The extra challenge is to get it all from high atop a mountain.
I don't know of any mountains where you can just drive up to the top, so I don't think that's going to happen.

The assignment this week is a Flat Lay.
I am not a fan.
This just seems like an Instagram "Influencer" thing… and I am definitely not that.
But here we are. Read More…
