I would adjust the aperture as small as possible for the conditions (approaching f/22 say) while maintaining a fast enough shutter speed for hand-holding (<1/30s max), and adjust the focus so the DOF was from infinity back to as close to me a possible...

Hyperfocus. I love it.
But I never considered using it for 'surprise' photo's, great tip!!
Edit: Actually that link is a little long-winded and is missing the most important thing, this:

Set the lens to f16, line up infinity on the right-hand '16' line and the left-hand '16' line would fall on roughly the 1.2M mark, now everything from 1.2M to infinity is in focus... simple
In the pic, everything from about 1.75M to infinity is in focus.(if set to f11)
Don't need infinity? go the other way.... set min distance required on left mark.
Apologies if stating the obvious.
