Camera and Photography - A Landscape / Street Photography Experience
Street Photography, and landscape portraits, I love them both. I also love travel photography and Food photography and nature photography.
Street and Landscape photography can be done using the SLR / DSLR. DSLRs can be great, noisy, and their lenses are so voluminous and a bit scary for expats in street shooting. High resolution DSLR is excellent for landscape work, but if you want big prints shooting with no large format or media format (film and digital).
Doing landscape photography: the use of a tripod for serious landscape photography makes it a habit to use the racks, because the low light levels you usually encounter mirror shake this can kill decision making MLU a must, and therefore use a tripod is required.
For MF, full medium format kit with 5 lenses and a heavy-duty tripod shooting out 100 meters of the road.
Stability is one of the questions. Handheld shooting is for street shooting, but anathema for landscape work. Want to use the lowest possible ISO? And the best aperture for depth of field? Use slow shutter speeds and a tripod.
The solution is a monopod, and about a year ago I realized that the monopod is one for my needs
In my landscape work I use the extended focal lengths to have compression and isolation.
4 years ago did some hiking, I finally have a full frame 35mm digital camera that has the resolution required to create large display prints available In a small and lightweight body suitable for hiking.
Three high-speed lenses can fit in my belt purse or coat pocket. High speed, high quality SLR lenses are large and heavy, but the M-series 35mm is enough to fit into my hand, or in a pants pocket.
Framing for landscape photographers usual landscape work with a ground glass. These types of pictures with a rangefinder is strange and inaccurate
I have two trips coming up this winter with my equipment and utensils, I expect to have a new report which you need to know it all went.
