i'm just a first year self-taught photographer. I don't know if I have any profound tips to pass on besides the basics.

It's always good to start with the basics. Any help/info/tips would be greatly appreciated. EXIF data of your shots would do wonders for a noob like me. Thanks in advance.

Present! Noob here. I own an Olympus E-410 but I admit that I'm just a point-and-shoot photographer. I only know the very basic things about photography. Most of the times, I don't know what I'm doing. I just really love taking pictures of anything!

I only started shooting landscapes this year when I travelled to New Zealand, before that I shot mainly portraits.

I read online articles, watched youtube videos and subscribed to a couple of magazines but there's nothing that compares to out in the field experience.

 

I shoot with a Nikon D700, a Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4 and Cokin P Filter system.

 

So here are the basics that I quickly learned from trial and error

 

1. Shoot in aperture priority.

2. Shoot f/11 - f/11 to get the maximum depth of field.

3. Try to learn what Hyperfocal Distance is.

4. Shoot in RAW.

5. Use a sturdy tripod

6. Composition

7. Use ND & ND Grad filters to add drama to your shots.

8. Find the widest lens that your budget can afford and find the sweet spot within its focal range.

9. Use a shutter release cable

10.Practice (most obvious one of all)

 

I guess those are my top ten tips to get someone started in landscape photography, there are a few more important tips that I may have missed but I'm sure others can add to this list.

 

Hope that helps.
