Excellent images as usual. Utah is our favorite place to visit. We have used Moab as our base the last two summers. Can't wait to get back to do more hiking, biking and taking lots of pics.

It was fine with the rain. And when the rain turned to hail, it was actually a little bit better. But when the wind nearly blew me over, and when the lightning began to strike nearby, it seemed a proper time to retreat.
(Near) 'Green River Overlook,' in the Island In The Sky District of Canyonlands National Park, a couple of hours ago. I count this place as affording one of the most sublime views imaginable.

Gorgeous dramatic images and an excellent capture of the rain squall in your first image.

So, I look at these photographs full screen and download and enlarge, and then enlarge again, and then again. They are sharp from foreground to far distance. Are they focus stacked or hyperfocal or some other kind of digital magic? Please tell me your secret, OH Landscape Master.

There are no secrets involved, Chief. At least, none that anybody couldn't similarly --and routinely-- put to use. The first image is technically a pano, comprised of six separate vertically shot images. Using multiple images in this way almost automatically produces a result that appears sharper than a single image would have since a lot more information will have gone into the final output. In terms of depth of field sharpness, like most folks, I lament the fact that most 'modern' lenses no longer have dof markings which would have made things a lot easier, so I followed the basic 'rule' of focusing on something roughly 1/3 of the way into the scene, and know from experience pretty much what'll be acceptably in focus given the particular lens and the aperture chosen.
While its true I do (or try to do) a lot of focus stacking in the field, given the conditions (heavy wind/rain) at the time, there was no possible way to have done so with either of these images. While both are pretty sharp from the get-go, there are ways of tromp d'oeil-ing a viewer's perception into thinking something is sharper than it may actually be, and straight-up 'sharpening,' either in camera or during processing, is often not the best way to do it. Color --or tonal-- values, placed side by side, produce the effect best, but when doing so isn't feasible, then edge structure is the next best option. This is basic color theory/visual perception put into practice.
Photographers would do well to study painting method, cognitive psychology, and basic aesthetics a little more than they do lens test charts.
