| If you've ever wanted to do landscape digital | | | | you can understand more technical things that |
| photography then here is some good news. You | | | | that! I am just meaning that if you want good, |
| don't need powerful digital photography | | | | clear detail in your landscape digital photography |
| equipment, but what you do need is a good lens. | | | | then you need to assist your digital camera to do |
| Sorry to say but a lot of (I didn't say all) digital | | | | it. And a wide angle is exactly what it says; it |
| cameras can't take clear and "big" landscape | | | | gives you a wider angle to shoot mountain |
| photos because they don't have the lens that | | | | ranges, landscapes, seascapes and even |
| enables them to do it. Digital photography has | | | | astrophotography. (The stars in the night sky.) |
| come along way in recent years and is racing up | | | | It's easy to get landscape digital photos, but |
| to traditional camera quality. Due to this fact | | | | without the right lens its not easy to get good, |
| landscape digital photography still needs to be | | | | sharp and clear digital landscape photos. If you |
| done with a good lense. | | | | won't have the right lens then your landscapes will |
| So what is a good lens for landscape digital | | | | be flat lines with no depth, and you'll be frustrated. |
| photography? A wide angle is a good place to | | | | I know, because this happened to me. Until I |
| start. Like a lot of things in digital photography this | | | | understood that your digital camera acts like the |
| rule is not set in stone like the ten | | | | human eye and sometimes needs a little help for |

| Okay, bear with me here.... | | | | have a camera that has an adaptable lens then |
| The eye needs special lenses to see things from | | | | you will be thankful for ever! If not, don't despair, |
| certain angles. It needs a pair of binoculars to see | | | | you can always hire dlsr's from camera stores for |
| far away distances up close (telephoto lens), a | | | | a pretty reasonable price. It will be entirely worth |
| magnifying glass if it wants to see detail up very | | | | it for that brilliant, clear, sharp detailed landscape |
