For some reason most of my favorite photos are taken at these focal lengths. In this video, I'll cover some of the mistakes, or issues if you will, you'll want to avoid and stop making when using the standard zoom kit lenses in landscape photography. --- THE POST PROCESSING COURSE --- Use the Coupon Code "MPIYOUTUBE" to get 15% OFF! https://madspeteriversen.teachable.com/ Standalone PHOTOSHOP Tutorials, DISCOUNT CODE: “springmpi” for 33% off: https://gumroad.com/madspeteriversen --- The eBOOKs --- Landscape Composition: https://gum.co/LCmpi Landscape Composition 2: https://gum.co/LC2mpi Landscape Composition 2 - lite: https://bit.ly/LC2lite SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER - get the free Landscape Composition lite eBook: http://eepurl.com/cJRfF5 TOPAZ Labs DeNoise 15% discount: "FRIEND15" https://topazlabs.com/ref/1090/ --- PRINTS --- https://www.mpiphoto.dk/Gallery --- FREE wallpaper extention for YOUR internet browser --- https://apps.thefan.club/mpiphoto Get my location maps: https://gum.co/lofotenmap https://gum.co/faroemap https://gum.co/icelandmap INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/madspeteriversen_photography/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/MadsPeterIverse MUSIC: EPIDEMIC sound: https://share.epidemicsound.com/wpJt9 0:00 - Finally fog! 1:51 - Defining standard lenses 2:19 - Don't use a 24-70mm lens 3:35 - Not using proper quality glass 4:40 - Benefits of the standard zoom lens 6:57 - Get to know your standard zoom lens 9:42 - A bit of composition with standard zoom lenses 12:20 - Benefit from perspective compression! 16:08 - Do you have everything in focus? 18:43 - Avoid blurry photos with the standard lens 22:04 - Zooming too much / framing mistakes 24:28 - 400mm photo from Instagram story Affiliate links (I get a small commission for each sale without any extra cost for you) for MY GEAR and recommended gear: My Landscape Photography Gear: My B&H shop with my gear (and recommended): --- https://bhpho.to/304aMIG --- Sony a7R3: - Amazon: https://amzn.to/2Ps0lsS - B&H: https://bhpho.to/30Wlmm1 SmallRig L-bracket: https://amzn.to/2QklniI Sony 12-24 f/4: - AMAZON: https://amzn.to/2rr0QKg - B&H: https://bhpho.to/30WlCS1 Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 - B&H: https://bhpho.to/2PnUyug Sony FE PZ 16-35mm f/4 - B&H: https://bhpho.to/3KPfX7C Sony 24-105 f/4: - Amazon: https://amzn.to/2PsgazO - B&H: https://bhpho.to/30Yz1ZZ Tamron 28-200 f/2.8-5.6 B&H: https://bhpho.to/3dY66ie 100-400 LENSES: - B&H: https://bhpho.to/2BmeLK2 Sony 100-400 Lens Collar Shoe: - B&H: https://bhpho.to/2BmkqzN TRIPODS: - Benro Travel Angel FTA19CV0 (discontinued in the US, FTA18CV0 is a close alt.): https://bhpho.to/2BS05zk - Benro Mach 3 TMA38CL: https://bhpho.to/2JKOExn BACKPACKS: - Shimoda Action X50 and others, get 10% OFF with the code "IVERSEN10": -- http://bit.ly/mpishimoda - Tenba Solstice 24L: -- Amazon: https://amzn.to/2L2ksxg -- B&H: https://bhpho.to/30UPu1q - Lowepro Pro Tactic 450W: -- B&H: https://bhpho.to/36dvGy1 My recommended SD card: - Amazon: https://amzn.to/2L6y1fg - B&H: https://bhpho.to/30Yv5s2 PEAK Design Camera Capture Clip V3: - Amazon: https://amzn.to/3gzsqxh - B&H: https://bhpho.to/30XEiB9 DJI Mavic 2 Pro: - Amazon: https://amzn.to/2PsvY5B - B&H: https://bhpho.to/30SzU6l My Vlogging gear: DJI Osmo Pocket (newest version): - B&H: https://bhpho.to/37NNZKC Micro SD for drones: - B&H: https://bhpho.to/3xmHGIO Manfrotto mini-tripod (new version): - Amazon: https://amzn.to/2L6dW8F - B&H: https://bhpho.to/30YAzmL Zoom H1 (new version): - Amazpn: https://amzn.to/2Qoj1iD - B&H: https://bhpho.to/30YORnh RØDE lavalier mic 2: - Amazon: https://amzn.to/2PoCMBq - B&H: https://bhpho.to/3xoxe3u Other stuff: Camera Dust blower: https://amzn.to/2L4cAeQ First Aid Kit: https://amzn.to/2L2PB3C Sports Tape (for twisted angles): https://amzn.to/2EaUuGH Emergency Blanket: https://amzn.to/2QhP7N7 Foldable HEX key: https://amzn.to/2EbdS6u HEAD Torch: https://amzn.to/2Qkteg3
