Landscapes

1. Where is one place on the internet you might go to better prepare yourself for the location you are shooting at?
Google maps and street side view of the location to better prepare for your shoot.

2. What is one app you might download to help you when trying to pick the best angle to take landscape photos?
 Photographer's Ephemeris.

3. What is the biggest problem shooting with a zoom or telephoto lens?
You don't get distant details and wide angles may be distorted.

4. Instead of using the HDR method which you will learn about next in my class, what is another technique the website suggest would be acceptable for compensating for sky and ground?
Digital SLR's

5. List three things you should always carry in case of bad weather.
Strong waterproof plastic bag, cleaning cloths for the lens glass and filters, microfibre towel.

6. Why would pre-scouting help you when shooting?
To take a unique approach to the picture by finding different viewpoints.

7. Is subject or composition more important in landscape photography, WHY?
A subject is more important because it's what you want to capture in the first place and focus on, then you worry about composition after you define your subject.

8. What is the suggested procedure to create simple, yet striking images?
Check that all of the elements of the scene work together, and that the main element you identified at the start is still what your eye is drawn to.

9. Why black and white?
Add a new twist to a picture, especially if it's already very monochromatic.

10. Why would you want to go back to a location you have already been?
It may have a different look at different times of year and you might find an interesting composition.

11. Find three landscape images that you like and post them with this blog.
