Landscape
photography is a test of patience. The photographer's paint
brush is light. Outdoors you often have to wait for that magical
moment. The best times of day are the first and last two hours of
daylight, the times when colours appear at their most vibrant
because light then strikes at an oblique angle. As in most
photography, try to simplify the scene. "Less is more" is
particularly true in landscape photography. Use ISO 50 or 100 film
to guarantee colour saturation and a sharp image giving excellent
detail. Polarization and graduated filters are almost a must to
bring the best out of a sky. A tripod is essential in order to use a
small aperture and slow exposure to increase depth of field.
