8 Helpful Camera Hacks for Landscape Photography

Much of successful landscape photography depends on having the right location, composition, and light, but photographer Mark Denney has shared 8 camera tips and hacks that can further enhance the shooting process and benefit photographers of all levels of experience.

Denney is a passionate landscape photographer and educator who often shares valuable knowledge with the audience, such as his 5 editing tips that can transform any landscape photograph. This time, his video focuses more on the practical part of shooting outdoors and provides tips that have been collated particularly for landscape photographers.

#1. Bungee Support

A simple bungee cord, which can be purchased for around a couple of dollars, can be attached to the hook at the bottom of the tripod to weigh it down for a more stable and even support. Hanging a photography or hiking bag underneath will often mean the bag doesn't reach the ground and can be susceptible to movement, which can add shake or disrupt the composition. A bungee cord, on the other hand, allows the bag to rest on the ground, ensuring that the tripod is anchored down and remains stable.

#2. Sea Legs

When shooting in water, Denney recommends extending the bottom portion of the tripod legs to be submerged, not the thicker top leg segments. This ensures the tripod joints avoid water and sand, which further extends the life of the tripod and causes fewer issues when it comes to cleaning it and removing any grit that may get stuck in the joints.

#3. Always Polarize

Although a polarizing filter might traditionally be only used for specific scenarios, such as when shooting moving water to remove reflections, it is a good idea to test out what the filter might do for different types of scenes, too. Denney now uses a polarizing filter on every shoot, even if it's just to check how it affects the scene and whether it can benefit the final result, such as by removing light reflections from dry leaves and creating a more vibrant image.

#4. Shower Cap

To protect the camera from rain, a simple shower cap can be used. It is an affordable and space-saving addition to the photographer's bag and it can help in situations where the camera needs to be quickly protected from rain damage.

#5. Vertical Telephoto Panorama

The compression effect that a long lens creates for a composition can be visually appealing for landscapes, although at the expense of the field of view which becomes more limited. To combat that issue, Denney recommends putting the camera in a vertical orientation and creating a sweeping panorama, from left to right, which still allows preserving the compressed look but adds a wider field of view in the composition.

#6. Dragging the Shutter

If a situation calls for creating motion blur in the image, such as in the water or in the sky, and the photographer has no access to a neutral density (ND) filter to help achieve that, ISO can be reduced, whilst stopping down the aperture. Doing so allows the opportunity to drag or slow down the shutter to add the motion blur to the scene.

#7. Stop Down Sunstar

To create a pleasing-looking sunstar, for example, appearing through the branches or leaves in the forest, it simply requires stopping down the aperture, such as, to f/32. Depending on the type of lens, the produced sunstar will vary in appearance.

#8. Hand Organizer

To make organizing panorama images easier, Denney simply takes a shot of his hand at the start and at the end of each panorama to make it easy to spot the start and finish of each sequence when importing and editing the images. The same approach can be applied for focus stacking to avoid wasting time during the post-processing stage and having to zoom into each image to see which image goes with each set.

Watch Denney's 16-.5-minute video above for a closer look at how each of these hacks works.

Three Things Every Photographer Should Have at Least Two Of

We live in a time when our technology and camera gear usually work extremely well and reliably… Until it doesn’t. Randomly. And at the worst time. When that happens, you’re left feeling unprepared and stressed which is something that none of us enjoy.

In the video above, I’ll share the lessons I’ve learned the hard way of the three things I think you need at least two of as a photographer to be better prepared and have more peace of mind. Hint: it’s not tripods, lenses, or camera bags!

Fortunately, each of the items in this list is relatively inexpensive, easy to find online or at your local store, and easy to use. So, run, don’t walk, to add these items to your gear list as soon as possible. Your increased feelings of being prepared and reduced stress levels will thank you.

Thing 1 – Memory Cards

While I’ve never had a memory card fail on me, I have arrived at a photo session with no card in my camera. That happened once and that was enough. Now, I make sure every camera bag has at least one extra memory card. A tip to extend the life and reliability of your memory cards: do not format, or delete photos from the card on your computer. Instead, use your camera for all card management functions.

Thing 2 – Camera Batteries

Camera batteries seem to know when you have a deadline or important project, and they seem to no longer have any charge and you’re left with a useless camera. To address this, I’ve equipped each of my camera bags with an extra battery (or two!). A tip for avoiding the dreaded dead battery surprise is to designate a day each month as “Charge All the Batteries” day.

Thing 3 – Backup Hard Drives

While these are the most expensive items on this list, the peace of mind and security of your data will be priceless. I can speak from experience, that hard drive data recovery is very expensive and can cost multiple thousands of dollars. To reduce my future risk of data loss, all my photos now live in three locations: the original hard drive, backup drive one, and backup drive two. My plan is to replace each hard drive after about a year to eighteen months of use to stay ahead of the mean time between the failure curve and add peace of mind.
