RisingSunPhotog Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Is anyone else out there shooting long-lens (telephoto) landscape photography? I dabble in it using my Sony 200-600mm lens to capture the intense, sometimes surreal perspective it creates. I usually shoot in silent-shutter mode (iso 100) to avoid shutter-shake movement during a long exposure.What are your tips, tricks or deep secrets for long-lens landscapes? @RisingSunPhotog Products Used FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSSLenses 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSPhotog77 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I haven’t done much with a telephoto lens except my 70-200, but I’m enjoying it and looking to get a 200-600 lens soon Products Used FE 70-200MM F2.8 GM OSS IILenses FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSSLenses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LensBrew Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I'm not sure there is any trick to it. I love using the 100-400 to isolate the mountain from the foreground, and the light and clouds working in union with the mountain. It gives the mountain a majestic look, and the print is out of this world (figuratively). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolineJensen Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I just love long lens landscapes! The more intimate view is my favorite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew_Geraci Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Great work!! I absolutely love shooting long-lens landscapes. It's such a unique perspective and really allows you to see details you normally can't see with wide-angles. A solid tripod, sandbag/backpack for weight, and a shutter release cable make for the perfect combo! The 70-200GM II is my favorite to use (for sharpness, speed, and clarity). Keep up the wonderful work! Products Used FE 70-200MM F2.8 GM OSS IILenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonSmith Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I love both the Sony 100-400mm and the Sony 200-600mm. I often use the 1.4x and the 2x teles with these lenses for my landscape photography. If there is no wind, try using the 5 second timer or cable release. I've also used the Sony Bluetooth to trip shutter - many choices. Wind is the hardest element to deal with when using shutters between 1/30th - 1/2 sec.
