- Ok, so don't actually throw away your wide angle lens. This video has been made to show that not all landscape images need to be photographed with a wide angle lens. Actually long lenses are equally as effective and have many benefits.

No don't throw it away. Just give it to me...
Oh no, I threw my lens out the window before watching! D:
I immediately put all my wide stuff on Ebay....probably should have watched the video first. [insert wry wink]
"I don't actually mean throwing away our wide angle lenses. I just needed a catchy title."
I take my 70-200 literally everywhere. Even indoors. People laugh at me but it just gives you a whole different world of perspective. Absolutely love it !
No surprise there, telephoto lens makes it easier to cut distracting stuff out. I've taken my latest waterfall shots with a telephoto, helped me to squeeze some far away foreground in without making the actual subject smaller. Still, there's plenty of subjects that work better with a wide angle lens. Any landscape Photographer should at least cover 14-200mm with their kit.
Please throw out you Canon 16-35 lenses. I'll be by on garbage day to ... ummmm.... recycle them 😜
There is a place for both. They are simply tools. If you’re deep in a tight canyon you will regret not having a 12-24mm. I get the idea of changing things up, but it’s important to understand the benefits and limitations of each focal length.
I actually prefer using a long lens for landscapes.. still use the wide angle but also using a 100-400, especially for mountain shots :)
Couldn’t help but laugh looking at the list of videos. The order they came up on my screen was this: “How to Use Your Wide Angle Lens.” Followed immediately by “Throw Away Your Wide Angle Lens”.
Saw the title, freaked out for a second since I purchased my 16-35 BECAUSE OF YOU, then felt a mix of relief/understanding/hunger. Great points!
I love wide angle lenses. Not so much for grand vistas, but for details. Things like mud cracks of Death Valley, or tide pools of seascapes. Up close and intimate. I love to really accentuate the foreground. I like to use the distortion as an advantage to put more emphasis on that. Another fantastic video though Tom!
I love these kinds of discussions. You're encouraging people to problem-solve a technical matter not by adding more equipment but by thinking better. I'm all for it. Subbed
Totally agree. A 70-200 is a great landscape lens. Especially an f4, it’s light and all-day carry friendly. Also totally agree with stitching long lens images, I did that at the Grand Tetons.
100% right man! A long lens allows you to get into the scene. Also, shooting landscapes with long focal lengths makes you a lot more creative and makes your images much more artistic. And of course, you let the audience know exactly what is the meaning of your photograph, what is the story that you want to tell. Keep it up man you're awesome! I am from Greece and I follow you for about 3 months now, and I've learned a ton of things from you, you're a true inspiration! But the most important thing that you taught me about composing an image in landscape photography is that "less is more" . Cheers!!
I'm more into shooting videos than photos but it applies the same. Thank you for this. You're message is essentially: don't be worried about capturing everything. With zooms, you can isolate subjects and you can be a bit more artistic and think of composing the shot. Very true....
So true Thomas. So many photographers love the wide shot at first but then it's like there's a natural desire to simplify the landscape composition and use a long lens to really dial in on the subject of the photograph. Quite honestly that's when people's photography improves the most because subject and composition becomes much more thoughtful. Good stuff!
Technology and software has made these lenses shine. Panoramas are more or less seamless when shot appropriately. Lightroom and Photoshop can fix most errors made by a photographer, to the point you can shoot most things handheld.
The picture of the frozen tree is one of my favorite pictures of yours. I love it every time I see it. And, it's not the first time you speak about longer lenses for landscape, and I can't agree more. There are lots of possibilities and stiles we can achieve with a tele lens that we cant with a wide one. One thing in particular that I appreciate is the compression that long lenses cause on perspective. Pretty amazing ;)
Right on, Thomas. The long lens gives landscape shots an element of intimacy, and sticking them together gives them incredible detail. Thank you so much for another great video to keep my Sunday afternoons happy and profitable.
