Landscapes
Canon pro Drew Buckley shares his fab four tips to get the most out of stunning vistas
01 Use a tripod
ONE OF the most important pieces of photographic equipment is a sturdy tripod that can be relied upon in all weathers and conditions. Not only does it stabilize the camera to combat any camera shake when using slower shutter speeds, or in windy weather, it also helps slow down your photography and force you into thinking more about your compositions. It’s a good idea to splash out on a carbon fibre model for lightness and strength. Go for one that has a weight rating higher than your equipment for extra stability.
