Focus Issue

I would appreciate a few suggestions if possible:


I am trying to get some wide angle captures, particularly landscape shots and am having trouble it getting everthing focused. I have tried adjusting the aperature and shutter but to no discernible effect.


I am using a 3D with the 24-105mm f4/L lens.


I'm just not sure what to do here. I'll be grateful for any help.


Thanks,


John

30D . . . I hate laptops.

Google a phrase:"hyperfocal distance" you'll get your answer.

And to make calculating the hyperfocal distance easier I have DOFMaster on my iPod Touch (also for iPhone which is basically the same):

That makes it a lot easier for me on location.

Thank you both...I've been stuck in a trees blocking the forest situation. This helps tremendously.
