Some other equipment and tips


Some other things that make your life easier.

First thing hasn't change since Ansel Adams and that is we shoot landscape images on tripod!
For 1 shot HDRs you might get away without tripod now and then but  for multiple shots HDR, you need three or five or sometimes even seven same photos with just different exposure. Believe me without tripod you are lost! As everything is connected with money, I'm sorry to say that, but if you want to have a good tripod you will need to spend a bit more money. The prices of good tripods start at about 250$. About the head of tripod you should be aware, that capacity of head should 100% exceed the weight of camera and lens combine, if you want to have peace for some time.

If you want to minimize shaking of camera, use mirror up function which rises mirror a second or so before opening sensor curtain. Remote trigger is your ally as well.

Another thing is not so much connected with costs but your safety:
  • warm dress in winter,
  • water on trips(always but specially in summer),
  • boots near water,
  • spare clothing always!

Where to begin?



It is a good question where to begin with HDR photography?


Red Devil Script


Of course foundation of photography skills should be solid if we won't have troubles in crucial moments.

I won't specially stress the fact that you should know your camera very well, ant you can only achieve that with lots of work with it!

As for all photography the rule of golden hours is still in place. As it is true that colors are more saturated and vibrant with HDR post processing, there are still better results if you are on location at the right moment and THE VERY BEST time of the day is around sunrise.



For building solid foundation in all ways of photography I recommend Scott Kelbys  books Digital photography. It is a series of four books which will help beginners as well as intermediate photographers to build really solid photography skills.(I only recommend books and gear that I already read or use!) The series contains four books, which guide you through different areas of photography. With following those four books you will master photography enough to be independent and able to work on your own. The books are available on Amazon on link in text or bi clicking the picture on the right or kindle edition on QR kode.


After getting knowledge you need to practice a lot to put that knowledge to life on your photos.

Tomorrow I will say a word or two about the gear that I have already used or tested and would be optimal and the gear that is the best in my point of view.
