Landscape Photography Meetup - Cape Schanck Lighthouse - 3pm - 2 hours
Today we will be shooting Landscape style photos along the coast line of Cape Schanck, seeing the light house, surrounding cliff face and coast with ocean and a stunning background view.
Settings: maximise the depth of field / use a narrow aperture. May need to take shutter speed down and ISO up a little.
Finding a spot that has a foreground and background interest. Think carefully about where you place your camera and tripod.
Take your time. There’s no need to take hundreds of shots at this session, it’s all about taking the time to see and record the landscape around you.
What is the sky doing? If it’s bland and no contrast, then don’t let it dominate your frame. It is always good to have a slice of sky so that it can help ‘break up’ the composition in a good way - think rule of thirds.
Keep an eye on the horizon! Keep them level and watch where you are placing them in the frame - on one of the thirds is best.
