In this lesson we covered why you have to use a tripod for Landscape photography which is because landscapes do not move so you can use a really slow shutter speed and low ISO to get the best quality image possible with the most depth to it, the tripod makes sure the camera does not shake or cause blurring to the images when the shutter speed is so slow.
We also covered multiple exposures too where you take three pictures of the same location with three different exposures in order to get the best contrasts and colours from the one final image which you get by blending all the best parts of the images together in photoshop.
We learnt that when taking landscape photographs you have to make the composition interesting or the photo would just flop/be useless. We had to refresh our memories about the rule of thirds using this skill to create the best compositions we could, we had to choose the focal point in the image and make sure to give the image depth.
We also learnt about 'metering modes' which are 'spot' and 'evaluated'(all over) spot is light exposed for if its a bright day with lots of contrast and evaluated is used for cloudy days/flat days. We learnt about Histograms and how to read them and about bracketing for multiple exposures.
look at photographers: Dan Holdsworth and Lee Frost.
