THE PRO

MARK BAUER

CAMERA: NIKON Z 711

Award-winning landscape photographer Mark has photographed the width and breadth of England's southwest. He turned pro more than 15 years ago, and has since authored a variety of books and featured in a number of photography publications. In 2008 he co-founded Dawn 2 Dusk Photography, which provides landscape workshops and tours, so he's the ideal person to help Sam sharpen his skillset. https://bit.ly/3DqEoJo

THE APPRENTICE

SAMEER SHEKHAR

CAMERA: NIKON Z 711

Sam was introduced to photography at a young age when his father gifted him a Yashica film camera. His interest lapsed after a few years, but, like so many others. Sam rekindled his love of photography during lockdown. He particularly likes to shoot landscapes and coastal scenes, and is looking for some advice to help him improve his long-exposure seascapes.

TECHNIQUE ASSESSMENT

Mark started out by showing Sam how to set up his Nikon Z 7 Il to capture dramatic seascapes

EXPOSURE AIDS

Mark says... The Playback display options in the Playback menu (on a Nikon camera - the name of this setting will vary depending on your make and model) allows you to customize what information you see during playback. I like to enable Exposure Info, Highlights and RGB Histogram - these are all useful for keeping tabs on your exposure, but the histogram is the most accurate tool.
