Be interested to see that landscape at different shutter speeds Dave. Yours is sharp as shown by the crop.
1/320 is approx. same as 1/lens focal length plus 1 stop. In fact it is 1/3 stop less.
I was at this location for only a few hours so was just grabbing shots at the best shutter speed I could manage for f5.6. I was being more a tourist than a D800 tester.
I had already done testing at various shutter speeds the previous week, taking shots of a lamp post across the street from my house. That's how I arrived at my 1/focal length + 1 stop rule. It's a nice lamp post, but the rock formations look a lot nicer.
I'd be interested in others' experience. This rule works for me but I have a genetic nerve condition that is gradually shutting down muscles. So far only certain muscles in my legs have been affected, but the result is that I have trouble standing solidly in one position even if I cradle the camera while standing feet-apart and bracing my elbows against my body.
