Black and White Landscapes!

[Sunnystate]

I am really enjoying this gallery, in case of B&W I guess some HDR photographs minus wired grayish, decaying colors are quite palatable.
My is not an HDR in the sense of using HDR stacking software, it is one shot adjustd in PS.

I especially like Gammyknee's shot just above. How did you get the entire frame in focus?

Thanks.

In theory the best way to get the appearance of sharpness right through the frame is to run the numbers through a DOF calculator and set the lens to the hyperfocal distance. Thing is, I always seem to do better by just looking at the scene, picking the area that I want to have peak sharpness and focusing on that. That, combined with a reasonably small aperture (in this case f11) usually gets me what I want.

A Landscape sort of, just not much of the landscape showing.....

I'm inclined to agree, while it is good to klnow the hyperfocal distance, it isn't always the best choice. It depends purely on the scene to be photographed and the relative distances of the nearest and furthest away points.

Foggy morning at river. Sun is raising, river is smooth and ruins of castle are so quiet.

Well done! There seems to be some sensor dust though in the top left corner.
