Understanding basic camera settings for landscape photography seems to be the key to people feeling confident with their camera. Once camera settings are mastered then the camera becomes an extension of you and we can start to really focusing on getting the creative juices flowing. In this video I focus down onto the camera settings and explain my methods in more detail.
Since I started vlogging I have moved away from making photography tutorials for beginners. It has allowed me to simply document my work process and show you my methods. Along the way people have picked up photography tips and tricks. Having said that, people still want to know the practical techniques. Things like, how to shoot in manual mode on your DSLR or what is the exposure triangle, or more information about aperture, shutter speed and ISO. This is totally understandable and I think shooting in manual mode is something all photographers should aim for.
This video aims to give you the information about how I do landscape photography settings, including my metering and focusing methods, whilst maintaining the real world vlog type feel. In the video I am in the Yorkshire Dales, visiting Ribblehead Viaduct and climb up a small portion of the Whernside mountain.
My video photography blogs are designed to entertain and document how I go about capturing my work. If it provides landscape photography tips and inspiration along the way then please share it with your friends so more people can benefit from the content. If you enjoyed this photography vlog I would really appreciate it if you subscribed to the channel so you can come along for the journey.
Thank you Adam. I'm quite new to photography and I'm constantly watching your videos for advice and would you believe it they really do work. Lol. Thanks for this particular video. Its really helpful in mastering the exposure triangle and like you said, you can get to the point where you don't have to worry about it anymore as you've got it sussed. Great content, love what you do. Many thanks.
Thanks for this. I love watching your videos especially when I’ve had a few beers 😋
Nice video, tell me why you 1st used auto focus and then switch to manual focus at the 8:02 second of this video?
This is the first video of yours I am watching as a novice. Your explanation is great to follow, not feeling overwhelmed. I look forward to follow your other videos. Thanks a ton!
Thank You! For sharing the settings to 😉
So much talking about “manual mode” from digital shooters, those who use film cameras never even think about that nonsense.
Thank you Adam that was most interesting, that was a lovely location too…..
Well.., in the shot at 8:11 he used an ISO of 100, f:16 and 1/5 Shutter speed. How did he get in that shot the grass on the foreground sharp with a 1/5 of a second shutter speed? There was a bit of wind so there should be motion blur for sure…
thanks for sharing Adam like these kind of videos well put together
Thanks Adam for the great tips and walking us through your thought process! I’m looking forward to reading your ebook. You’ve got a new subscriber!
Great tips! A ton of people think that you need to stop down all the way to f22, etc but it's not necessary!
absolutely wonderful video and valuable information ,,, thanks a lot to you man
Awesome video mate! Just found your channel. Thanks for the tips!
Good Video, thanks for the tips
the weather is gloomy.
if i want to get a camera for travelling, vlogs and landscape photography, what camera type should i get? and what brand is good? i want a good and clear camera with not a price too extreme.
Very helpful and inspiring for a beginner like me. Thank you for the wonderful tips!
Hi Adam
Thanks for this great video (as usual :). I'm always hesitating on the focus point, I'm never sure where to focus to have a sharp image so I go with trials / errors. Do you have tips on where to focus?
Thanks
Amazing video I try and capture similar things on my Instagram @jayloyden 👏
Great film. When doing long range landscape shots where do you focus. Especially if you want close things in focus too.
Thanks for this tips, especially the last one. Isn't the machine that makes the landscape photographer, but it's all about visualizing.👍🏼
Thanks Adam. I am a 66 year-old beginner. I have enjoyed and learned much from your videos. Please keep your content coming!
I think you have a wonderful eye for composition!
Thanks, Adam. Really enjoyed the tutorial and your enthusiastic personality. If I believe that I could spend a day photographing with someone based on their Youtube channel then I'm a subscriber!
I came across your video lately, really worth the wait, such an easy way of understanding. Thank you so much for sharing. I would like asking a question If you don't mind answering it, I got a Nikon 7200 & Canon 70D(I have lot of focussing issues with 70d since I bought this) I was thinking to sell both and get a Canon 5D, whats your opinion.
I totally agree the perfect photo is up to you every shot is different
What ND filter do you recommend for long exposures?
What tripod are you using
I have 80d ..for landscape which lens should i buy bro
THank you
Thanks man: very helpful.
I very recently came upon a photographic concern: "diffraction limiting aperture", and my apsc camera has one at f/5.9. Your 5d4, I think is 9.3. But you shoot some shots at f/11-16+, and you get, I assume, acceptable images. Is diffraction limiting a solid concern for any photographer, now?
Travel and shoot with Thomas Heaton
…you guys will be great!
Which filter did you used?
Just discovered your work. I’m now binge watching EVERYTHING!
well in mate, I’m a total newb and you’ve made me want to get out and crack on, well played sir!
Great video! Some really useful tips in here. Thanks.
So when taking photography like this, where are you locking focus? Someone mentioned it's ideal to use "double the distance" method; meaning locking focus twice as far away as the closest object in your photo. is this a usual rule of thumb or, for instance, in the waterfall scene, you're locking focus with the waterfall itself?
I am currently doing my Higher photography course and I am doing landscapes. This was very useful to me as I was struggling a bit with the settings 🙂
I dont usually comment anything. But this video and the place you choce for your landscaping was trully beautifull and so i had to. It made me want go out and shot. Nice video and you kept simple, but enjoyable
Very informative and great that you show examples. So many people talk theory with no output. 👍
What lens did you use for taking the pictures in this video?
Amazing!
My first visit and this has been so helpful to me. I have been fretting about my settings for landscapes for ages so thank you very much.
Awesome video. Thanks for the tips!
At first I thought that was an old water aqueduct, but then I saw the train ride over it.
