Digital Camera Setup for Landscape Photography. This is how this professional photographer configure his camera for 90% of his landscape shooting. he uses a Pentax digital camera but the setting should suit most makes and models (where available) Don’t forget your remote release/cable release!
Thanks Edward, another very interesting & informative post.
Great advice. I don’t use a tripod much, but wouldn’t have figured out that preset focus point for myself although it makes perfect sense. Regarding the 15mm lens with the step down filter ring, it’s reassuring that it can perform well against bright light without the hood. Thank you for such informative videos – I can honestly say I learned something from each one so far.
What polarizing filter do you use?
cant wait to get my k-5 in a couple of weeks n maybe even accidentally include that 15mm. should i sell my k-7? i dont see a point of having it.
thanks for your advice! i configured these settings at user preferences 1, i also renamed that to something meaningful like LANDSCAPE. 😉 just one note: selecting mirror lockup or self timer will disable shake reduction automatically, i discovered that by accident. 😉
Thx for the settings!! Need to try some shots asap.
Could you pls tell me the metering mode? thx in advance.
Can you make a tip when you do portrait for K5?
thanks Panther
Unfortunately, most lower ISO is 80 in Pentax K5 cameras 🙂
Does the built in hood on the 15mm get in the way at all if using the 49-77 adapter (or similar)? Thanks.
You mentioned bracketing in this video. Do you take braketed shots for capturing greater dynamic range in your images and just merge with software? If so, what are your typical number of shots, and EV spread? great practical videos!
video could’ve done without the music intro.
Can you go over a cable release?
And where to focus on? Highlights, Mid-tones, darks? How to find the best exposure?
