After much
searching of the internet and reading of photographic textbooks (the dense kind
that have little if any pictures) I discovered I’m absolutely clueless as to
how to actually calculate hyperfocal distance and little better at
understanding it. My goal then became to reverse this if at all possible. This
tutorial then is my attempt to wade through what I saw as rather complex math
and distil it into something that makes sense to other mathematical luddites
like me. I’ll start the article with the simple stuff, and move on to the more
complicated matters after.
