n most modern SLR cameras, the autofocus sensor located at the center of the frame is generally designed to be more sensitive and more accurate than most or all of the camera's other AF sensors. In low-light situations, it is possible for the center AF sensor to be the only one that will reliably lock on to the subject and achieve focus lock. This has given rise to the technique of center point focus-recompose, which involves placing the center AF sensor on the portion of the subject that needs to be the most clearly focused, and activating autofocus. Once focus has been achieved, then the camera is reoriented until the desired framing is achieved, and then the shutter is released. There's just one problem with this idea: it is 100% guaranteed to cause focus to be behind the intended center of focus.

Focusing your camera at the hyperfocal distance ensures maximum sharpness from half this distance all the way to infinity. The hyperfocal distance is particularly useful in landscape photography, and will help you make the most of your the depth of field — thereby producing a more detailed final print. However, knowing the hyperfocal distance for a given focal length and aperture can be tricky; this tutorial explains how it is calculated, clears up common misconceptions, and provides a hyperfocal chart calculator.

The banal, then, is still banal, but now it's engrossing. I suppose this must be seen as progress, but Eggleston's belief has been and remains that what the resolutely high-minded call banality is the stuff of life itself. It is where we live -- but not only there. Much has been made of Eggleston's oft-quoted statement "I am at war with the obvious." Here he is, not atypically, saying a good deal less than he means. Eggleston loves the obvious -- he hates, and is indeed at war with, the idea of it, the contempt in which it is held. He sees what's in the gutter but also looks up to the heavens. As Malcolm Jones, an unusually perceptive critic of Eggleston's work, has observed, "He addresses the meanest objects with unstuttering love."

"The Supervisions series, begun in 2002, are based on images of urban areas revealing both views of public sites and their surfaces, as well as offering insights into closed areas from a bird's-eye perspective. By means of an elaborate photographic technique, Gefeller creates these »possible« and »impossible« view-points. Hundreds of individual shots are digitally joined, giving rise to the impression that the overall sight has originated from a much higher perspective. The uncommon formation process is betrayed by the detail-richness resulting from the high-resolution quality of the images of »scanned« surfaces and the optical breaks between single segments originating through perspective shifts. Yet this only becomes apparent to the observer through close inspection." - Soma, night photography of highly overlit environments like resort hotels, is quite fascinating as well
