Lots and lots of practice! Do you do any other photography? Find a mentor as well that helps a lot. Also on my website I quite often post tips as well.

No you don’t need a formal education for it but you need lots of self education. Read books and websites and practice lots and lots!!!! You don’t need good equipment to start doing landscapes.

It was my pleasure. If I can help in any other way please let me know. Good luck with the landscapes, they are tricky but heaps of fun and very rewarding.

Even if you didn’t get the shot, this was pretty amazing. Very nice location! How wide would you go on a composition as the ones you pointed out in the vid? And would you go for a f-stop in the range of 8-11, or?
I checked out your website as well, you wouldn’t happen to be on flickr?

Well done, mate!

Hi Morten. In this location I probably wouldn’t have gone wide. I most likely would’ve used my 50mm F/1.2 lens and stiched about four or five shots together. If I did go wide it would be as a ‘backup’ in case the stitching didn’t work. I would’ve probably shot it at a focal length of 18 – 20mm. Because this location lent itself more to a panoramic format if I shot wide I would probably then have cropped it to a 4:1 formate. I would’ve probably used F16. Hope this helps!!!
