Duty Tripod
A Landscape/Street Photography Experience
Street Photography, and landscape Portraits, I love them both. I do also love travel photography and Food Photography and nature photography.
Street and Landscape Photography can be done using SLR/DSLR. DSLRs can be large, noisy, and their lenses are so bulky and a bit scary for detached during street shooting. High resolution DSLR is excellent for landscape work, but if you want large prints shooting with any large format or medium format (film and digital).
Doing landscape photography means the use of a tripod, for serious landscape photography make it a habit to use tripods, because in the low light levels you usually encounter mirror shaking this can kill resolution, making MLU a must, and therefore using a tripod is required.
For MF, full medium format kit with 5 lenses and a heavy-duty tripod shooting out 100 meters of the road.
Stability is one of the issues. Hand-held shooting is for street shooting, but anathema for landscape work. Want to use the lowest possible ISO? And best aperture for depth of field? Use slow shutter speeds and a tripod.
The solution is a monopod, and about a year ago I realized that Monopods is one for my needs
On my landscape work, I use the extended focal lengths to have compression and isolation.
4 years ago did some hiking I finally have a full frame 35mm digital camera that has the resolution required to create large display prints obtainable in a small and lightweight body suitable for hiking.
Three high speed lenses can fit in my belt pouch or coat pockets. High speed, high quality SLR lenses are large and heavy but M series 35mm is sufficient to fit in my hand, or in a pants pocket.
Framing, for landscape photographers they usually do landscape work with a ground glass. These types of images with a rangefinder is strange and inaccurate
I have two trips coming up this winter, with my equipments and gears; I expect to have a new report as you to know it all went.
