How to adjust parameters when shooting scenery

I measurement mode: matrix measurement (evaluation measurement)

Landscape photography has many picture elements and relatively complicated light. The most commonly used measurement mode is matrix measurement (evaluation measurement):

Second, exposure mode: aperture priority (Canon AV/ Nikon A)

For general landscape photography, the most commonly used mode is aperture priority exposure mode, which is convenient for depth of field control and can also indirectly control the shutter:

Three. Aperture setting: F8 or above is recommended (commonly F8-F 16).

In addition to fuzzy close-ups, scenery films are usually shot with a small aperture for two reasons:

1, all elements near and far of the picture remain clear under a large depth of field, which can better restore the details of the scene.

2. Under the small aperture, the edge image quality, dispersion control and sharpness performance of the lens will be improved, which is conducive to obtaining better shooting results.

From the point of view of aperture range, you can generally shoot scenes above F5.6, but unless you shoot the door slowly, it is not recommended to choose a too small aperture, otherwise optical diffraction will occur and the image quality will be reduced. From the experience, my personal shooting landscape is generally not more than F 16, basically between F8-F 16.

Note that for slow-door photography, if the shutter is still not slow enough under a small aperture, you can consider adding a reducing mirror or filter:
