PRO JAMES ABBOTT CAMERA: CANON EOS R5 James is a landscape photographer based in Cambridgeshire, although you'll often find him exploring one of the UK's many hills or mountains, shooting landscapes and teaching workshops. He's also the author of The Digital Darkroom: The Definitive Guide to Photo Editing. We met up with him at Wyming Brook in the UK's stunning Peak District, one of his favourite spots to photograph waterfalls.jamesaphoto.co.uk
APPRENTICE GEMMA PEPPER CAMERA: CANON EOS R6 Gemma is a product photographer as well as weekend bird watcher and photographer and you'll find some of her lovely birding pictures on Instagram @thebirdnerdx_. While Gemma has a passion for all things outdoors and is confident with wildlife photography, she's always struggled with landscapes, and is looking for some tips to help her to unlock the full potential of her Canon EOS R6 to capture long-exposure river scenes.
TECHNIQUE ASSESSMENT
James helped Gemma set up her EOS R6 to capture movement in waterfalls
APERTURE PRIORITY MODE
James set Gemma's camera to Aperture priority mode (Av on the mode dial), and set an aperture of f/11. This tends to be the sweet spot for sharpness on many lenses, and will give a deep depth of field that's perfect for landscapes. James also set the ISO to 100, which is the lowest native setting on most cameras, and will provide the best image quality. It also means light sensitivity is at its lowest, which is ideal for shooting the longer exposures needed to capture waterfall shots with beautifully blurred water.
