Love your pictures. What type of lense did you use for this picture and what settings did you use? I am just starting out.
Thanks
Hi Tim, thanks for the kind words. To answer your question this photo was taken with a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens on a Nikon D7000. I don’t have the exact settings in front of me but my guess would be something like iso100, f/9, 2 seconds, with a 3-stop soft GND filter to help darken the sky. Hope that helps!
Josh
Hey Josh,thanks for your reply. It helps but it seems like I would need a hole bunch of different lenses to shoot different scenes. What lenses would you recommend to someone that is just starting out and wants to shoot landscapes and nature pictures. I have a nikon D3400.
Thanks
No problemo. Yes indeed, most photographers end up with many many lenses in their quiver to suit lots of different scenes. When you’re just starting out a great lens for landscapes is an ultra-wide angle. I recommend the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 since it’s incredibly sharp and has very good performance.
I couldn’t agree more. just got the lens myself and I love it. Great investment for the price Tim!
Thanks again Josh. Any other tips that might help me out with getting started?
