The Best Lenses for Landscape Photography

It took me some time to realize this, but lens choice doesn't affect perspective. This might sound surprising since it's commonly believed that a long lens creates that compressed, foreshortened look, while wide-angle lenses exaggerate space. You've probably heard that using a wide-angle lens for portraits makes the subject's nose appear larger than their ears. In reality, that's not true. The ...

    • @DaveMabelFraser
      @DaveMabelFraser หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey Colin, Thanks very much for your kind words. Yes, in my career I have used many different camera brands, from Nikon to Hasselblad to Sinar. The Fuji X-H2 was my choice for landscape for several reasons. I like a cropped sensor because I was not concerned about low light capabilities (less sensor noise) or (perceived) shallow depth of field. I like the increased lens 'reach' due to the cropped sensor and smallness and lightness of the gear while hiking in a landscape. Also, I have always had a soft-spot for Fuji because of their positive response to what professionals needed in a film stock back in the 1990's. Good luck and have fun out there!

    • @DaveMabelFraser

      Thanks so much! I would recommend a short (ish) zoom. Something close to a 24-50mm (full frame equivalent). I shoot with a aps-c format and shoot with a 13mm prime and a 56mm prime. I also have a 50-230mm zoom I sometimes use more detailed captures. The short zoom will give you more bang for your buck!
