Episode 24: Landscape lessons

With the weather getting warmer, the skies bluer and the fields greener, we thought it was high time we dispensed some invaluable landscape lessons on the Photography News podcast. Whether you’re an old hand at scenics, or taking your first steps into the – ahem – field, we’re on hand to give you ideas, advice and inspiration that will help you get better results. Amongst other things, the team discusses how to get the best shots no matter what lens you have on your camera, whether you need to walk miles to get great images and cover techniques for capturing panoramas by combining multiple images. Elsewhere in episode 24, Will divulges a great location to photograph bluebells and the techniques to use once you get there, Kingsley goes retro searching for a lens for his six-megapixel Epson R-D1 camera and Roger explains a technique that will help you see familiar scenes in a whole new way. Meanwhile, our experts at MPB help one reader decide on which macro lens to buy, we reveal which members of the Photography News team insure their camera gear and which – sharp intake of breath – don’t, plus the editor is taken to task over his infatuation with megapixel counts on cameras.
