Learn To Use This Camera Setting For Uber Sharp Images
Does it bother you when you sit down to edit your landscapes and they just don’t seem quite as sharp as you think they should be? It’s frustrating to see these tack sharp images on photo sites like 500px and not be able to achieve that same level of sharpness.

You realize of course, if you’re talking bout 500px, those images are going to have to be resized for the web in which case “tack sharp” isn’t as much an issue anymore since you would be downsampling a bit. If the capture is so extremely soft and blurry that you can’t get decent sharpness from downsampling, then you have other problems to deal with.
I use the lockup and a cable release or the timer and have had great results. Always keep in mind however that besides keeping your camera perfectly still, your subject has to be perfectly still as well. If you have a slow shutter speed and some leaves on a tree move or anything else, you will get blurring.
