When you think of landscape photography, you probably think of using a wide-angle lens, but a telephoto lens can be an equally effective tool. However, it comes with its own set of challenges. One of such aspects is that it is more difficult to get sharp photos. This helpful video tutorial will show you how to use a telephoto lens for landscape photography and give you some helpful tips for getting sharp shots while doing so.
Coming to you from Dave Morrow, this great video discusses several ways to get sharper landscape images when using a telephoto lens. If you haven’t used a telephoto lens for such photos before, you should put one in your pocket the next time you’re out and about. They’re perfect for simplifying an overly busy or complicated scene by allowing you to select just a single element of interest. You can also take advantage of that telephoto compression to add a bit of drama to the footage. Also, we’ve gotten so used to wide-angle landscape shots that a shot from a distance can be a little more eye-catching just because of its uniqueness. Check out the video above for the full synopsis from Morrow.
