The Steps in Field chapter is fantastic. I often struggle to put the new knowledge into practice, and this is tremendous help.
College of DuPage on the weather search. 😊
Excellent video! Wondering if you have the choice, will you use a 10-20mm F4L or 15-35mm F2.8L lens for most of your landscape photography?
a polarizer is something that can’t really ever be replicated in lightroom. It’s an essential! I thought f/8 and be there came from Weegee, a street photographer, but it sure does work for landscapes too…
Z50 vs z50 what is better in open landscape and trails and by the water
Thank you, kind sir!
I did these exact settings at on camera screen it looks way to dark…
Another superb tutorial Simon! Didn’t know about the 1/3 focus, as I always obtain hyperfocal distance by focusing at a far object, which is easy to accomplish with a wide angle lens. Best regards! 🙂
Nothing has any end, but everything bad wrong and negative does
thank you!
I got myself a 10mm f2.0 lens for under $200. Guess which brand? Landscape is going to be fun.
the 17-40 sucks compared to the 16-35
I do alot of wildlife and bird photography but i’m heading to a place known for scenic landscapes so I’m watching this to get some good shots
What circular polariser do you recommend?
Hi
I want to buy Sony 70-200mm GM ii lens.
How to pay the bills? Where to sell those? How?
Amazing amount of information here. I’ve always been wanting to get more into landscape photography and have only dipped my toes into it. This helps a lot. Thank you!
Amazing quality, so enjoyable!
Thanks Simon that was an inspired back to basics vid, you can get lost in the technical mind blowing menu in new cameras and loose shots because you can’t remember a part of/in the camera
Dear Simon, thanks very much for all your videos, in particular, this one. I am an enthusiastic amateur photographer and I believe that I have improved my photography by following your advice and tips. I am going back to Patagonia in a couple of weeks so I am watching some of your videos again to relearn from a master!
Nice vlog. I do have a question: Why does one has to learn landscape photography in 13 minutes?????????????
One should learn landscape photography GOOD and SPEED (13 minutes?????) is in that case of no importance. Should people be mislead??????
GOOD LEARNING and TIME/SPEED are not comparable ( with exception of exceptional talents). I would think that one should learn it properly and for all good and deep/meaningful. That’s impossible in ""such a fast way"". Please go back to content-rich vlogs instead of speed, hurry and rush vlogs. Landscape photography is to complex, important, comprehensive and nice to do to deal with junk vlogs, because that’s what you get when you don’t take landscape photography seriously. And I’m used to something different from your vlogs.
Literally the only instructions you need for landscape photography. Everything else is extra. Great summary.
Great tips Simon
I don’t usually comment on videos, but I wanted to thank you for explaining this so well and so simply.
I watched this video for the second time now. I will watch it again.
I found very useful tips & advice for a learning photographer like me.
Thanks a lot for the nice video.
Thanks a lot for a nice
Simon, I do love landscape photography. I’m doing everything on a mobile phone and want to get ‘real’ gear and perhaps start a career in photography. Can you make good money with landscape photography? … or is it mainly just something you do as a "hobby?"
Brilliant, and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience about landscape photography and photo gear equipment, etc…. I thoroughly enjoyed your content. Thank you
Thank you so much! Landscape is one of my weakness. Your tips is helping me to try again.
Does…Simon have access to my [insert favorite learning platform] account? I literally just started the unit and the accompanying homework on landscape last week 😂
Would you use a 50 mm lens for landscape as well?
Hi Simon. Can you pls make a tutorial on how to set up canon r5ii for landscape and wildlife photography? Thanks
Foreground, Mid-ground, Background! Got it! Done! ✅
Mpb is great
My gosh! All the relevant points of landscape photography reviewed concisely with no wasted words including a relevant and helpful ad!
Do you have the metering mode set to wide? Or zone etc?
Thank you for all you do to share your experience!
I’m trying to find a video I think you made, but am having trouble. it went into the math behind focal length + aperture and the minimum distance a subject could be in focus using those settings (and beyond at higher aperture’s). was this you? Or am I confusing another creator. id appreciate the help in finding it again!
I’ve bought three cameras so far from MPB, just got my first full frame today actually. Very satisfied with their trading service.
I love this channel
Gracias Simon, Excellent teaching 👍
Thank you Simon for the incredible video. Can you recommend one lens that would be good landscape and wildlife ? I am prepping for Antarctica cruise and prefer one lens to carry with me . Thanks!!
Beautiful vdo ! Thank you sir .
Great video. Always find your contents fitting my use case. 😊 It would be interesting to have a video on hyperfocal distance on getting the foreground and background sharp focus for landscape too. 😆
I went out to take pictures of birds at a marsh one day and had a gorgeous look over the water looking at a farm with some mist. With no tripod, I have a ton of shots hoping 1 is just good enough to keep. I’m going to make a lot of trips out there with a tripod and hope to see something that beautiful again
wise man once told me “Jim, we are too poor to buy junk”
Are APSC sensor good for landscape photography?
I have 2 lenses, one that is 18-55 mm and one zoom lens that is 70- 300mm. But the autofocus is broken, theres a gear that just keeps spinning but doesnt work. Is it important dor autofocus to work when doing wildlife photography?
Cape Forchu!
Hello Simon. Please tell me, in what color space do you work with your photos? In Adobe RGB, SRGB or DCI-P3 on your monitor? And could you tell me please which monitor you are working on? Thanks:)

Excellent advice Simon!
