Long Lens Basics
Long lens landscape photography can look very different than what you may be used to with a wide angle lens. In this session, we will look at how a long lens can create a distortion of compression in space and how you can use that to your advantage.
Types of Long Lens Landscapes
There are multiple types of images that you can create with a long lens. In this session, we’ll go in the field to explore how to create several completely different types of images in a single place so you can learn how versatile a long lens can be.
Framing Your Shot
Throughout this Class, you’ll hear the word compression over and over. To use compression best, you also need to learn how your subjects interact with one another within the frame. In this session we’ll explore how lines and shapes can be framed differently to create visually pleasing photos and repetitions.
Simplify Your Composition
Long lens photography creates some beautiful compression that can add a lot of interest to a composition. However, with compression also comes chaos and distracting elements. In this session, we’ll explore the best compositional guideline to use when creating long lens compositions that will help you simplify your image.
Small Scenes
While grand vistas have the ability to amaze people, small scenes have the ability to make people stop and explore your photos. For this session, we will create two kinds of small scenes that are most popular with a long lens.
Creating Depth
Compression has a tendency to look flat sometimes. Using depth in your photographs can separate your subjects and make long lens compression more interesting. In this final Class session, we’ll see how natural windows and weather can impact depth in your compositions.
