It is necessary, though, for certain types of landscape photography where you’ll be using a slow shutter speed, like when smoothing the water in waterfalls or when shooting night scenes. For example, you might want your waves to be silky and smooth which requires a long shutter speed (usually even less than 1/30, requiring a tripod), or you might want to freeze every glistening droplet of a wave crashing powerfully against a rock, necessitating a super high shutter speed of 1/1000 or even greater.Ī tripod is definitely helpful for landscape, though I am lazy and I rarely carry mine. Again though, shutter speed is a variable you might want to consider in a more artistic sense. For my shutter speed, I tend to aim for 1/200, or even faster if there is any wind that might affect any less-stable portions of my image, like plants. ![]() When you are shooting with such a small aperture opening, you will also likely need to bump up your ISO to higher than you think in order to keep your shutter speed acceptably fast. f/13 is a good starting point to test and then zoom in on your LCD to be sure everything you want sharp IS sharp. When shooting, the most obvious “rule” is to shoot at higher (smaller) apertures in order to get everything into focus (although I have also seen some beautiful, artistic images where something in the foreground is in focus, for example a lovely reed on a beach, and the background is softly blurred-that is certainly a fun and beautiful approach as well!). First of all, you will probably be happiest with wider angled lenses, staying at roughly 35 mm or lower. ![]() There are some general “rules” for landscape photography. Getting excited for the ClickinMoms ClickinWalk? I certainly am! I know most of us generally focus on portrait and lifestyle work, but in preparation for the Walk, I thought I’d share some tips on getting the most out of landscape photography, both while on the walk and beyond!
