Mask, mask, I know you: landscape processing with luminosity masks
One of the most common situations when shooting landscapes is the inability to cram a scene with too wide dynamic range in one frame. Either the sky is too bright, or the earth is too dark. And even if the camera shows that the frame is exposed without overexposure and underexposure, then it is often impossible to process it so that the textured sky appears. For such situations, there are a number of techniques that will allow you to pull out too bright lights in the photo and carefully and naturally embed them in the photo.

Composition in landscape photography
Composition is the most important component of any visual work. And this applies not only to paintings and photography. The same rules of composition apply in almost all fine arts - from sculpture to urban planning. But today we will consider only photography, and landscape photography.

Photographing people on a journey
Someone tries to shoot only nature on trips. Some focus on animals and plants. But I believe that any place we go to acquires its own special flavor thanks to the people who live there. Coming back from a trip and not bringing back a single photograph of people is to throw out a huge piece of information from your visual narrative. Perhaps the most important piece. Let's figure out how to bring interesting portraits of people from a trip.
This is probably the big question we all ask before we face a purchase. digital camera Q: What kind of camera do I need? What are my photographic aspirations? If we have clear answers, the choice will no doubt be much easier. This is not the same as wanting the camera to take pictures with friends, such as for use in nature photography.
Once we decide what works best for us, knowing each of them, we can follow some general guidelines to make a good choice. The absurd megapixel war is more of a marketing argument than anything else, and may only be useful for certain types of high-expansion work or jobs where overfitting is fundamental.

Landscape is the most difficult genre. Preparation and filming.
Many aspiring photographers find it difficult to shoot a studio portrait. And sports are hard to shoot too. And weddings are hard to photograph. But the landscape is simple. Of course, because nature itself did its best for you - it created mountains, planted trees, paved canyons with rivers and spilled lakes. The photographer only has to press a button. There is just one small problem here. As soon as the button is pressed and the picture appears on the camera screen, it immediately begins: “Well, it was actually much more beautiful.” Why do you think this happens? Let's try to figure it out and find several ways to bring your photo closer to the image that we saw in nature.
For 99% of photographers, a 5-megapixel camera is enough. Many times we make the mistake of looking for the most expensive camera within our budget, believing it to be the best. But, of course, it is wiser to think about what characteristics I am interested in, what camera and from there, raise the search.
For example, a camera might cost more to have video recording, but for some reason we might not be interested in this feature, so it would be absurd to pay for it, right? Likewise, the same camera may not have the feature that we are really interested in, so in the end we will not make a good purchase.

Have you ever thought that photos with a standard 2:3 aspect ratio for DSLRs are somehow cramped, so you want to look beyond their edge, look beyond the frame, find out what is happening there. And the thing is that we see much wider, we perceive the world in a panoramic way. So let's try to shoot such panoramas, then to look beyond all the edges at once.
Therefore, we must match what we want the camera to offer us and find the one that best suits our needs. As we see in the photo in many cases, we will be able to check it in front of the object. Although we'll see later, the quality of a lens will depend on the types of lenses they mount and the brightness of the lens itself. The brighter the better.
Zoom: We will never look at digital zoom, only optical zoom. Digital zoom is the equivalent of zooming in on a photo with photoshop so you always lose quality. If we are looking for cameras with high magnification, it would be interesting that the camera has an optical stabilizer to avoid flickering photos.

Against the world Shooting in backlight
Light can change any scene, and it is very important for a photographer to feel the light and understand how to use the different positions of the sources relative to the subject in order to create the right mood in the frame. Working with side or front light is easy. It is much more difficult to work with backlight - the light that is directly behind the subject. Harder, but more interesting. In this material, we will not consider studio shooting, but will talk about cases where there is only one light source, but the most powerful one is the Sun.
Video function: in compact and ultra-mirror interesting feature and almost by default, but with limitations. Batteries: It's usually best to have the camera powered by a battery that runs through batteries, although it would ideally allow for both. If at any moment we run out of battery, the batteries can pull us out of the rush. If you only use batteries, it's best to buy rechargeable batteries.
And well, it's all in the camera types section, I hope you liked it and will help you when choosing a camera. For any doubts feel free to ask.
