I'd really love to take down there some photos - with mountains and lakes and so on. Purely amazing. Thank again for your video, mr Imre.

@IndrekValdek You're very welcome! It's a beautiful area; very calming and relaxing too.

Shooting landscape in f5.6 is a new to me. Wont it throw many things out of focus due to shallow DOF? I guess f8-f16 would be ideal, please correct me if I am wrong

@linkerror10 Hi! Great question. The answer can be a little involved and I've been meaning to do a video regarding this area (and hyperfocal distance) but in short it depends on what focal length (FL) and aperture you're using. For example, if I'm shooting at 12mm with f/4 and I'm focused to 3m then my DOF is from 1.389m to infinity. The longer the FL the farther away the nearest focus distance. So here's what I can recommend: 1) look up the DOF table for your len(ses) and ...

@linkerror10 ... 2) Google "hyperfocal distance" and study it. The DOF chart for your lens(es) will give you a great idea to begin with. Also, using small apertures (about f/11 on 4/3 and f/13 on APS-C sensors) might lead to diffraction effects thus a slight softening of your image (although generally not major). Most lenses are sharpest around f/4 to f/8 (depending on the lens), which is why I prefer to use that range most often. Hope that helps; keep an eye out for a vid on this sometime soon.

Hi, ive been shooting for about a year now and have grown to love landscape photography, I was wondering what do you think the best way to get into landscape photography as a career?

[binarygraphite]

@DavidHeatonPhoto ... writing a book or two (or even just creating a photo book) and self-publish through an online service like Blurb. Of course, you could sell prints of your work and create various other types of merchandise too, like calendars. If you keep an eye on my blog, I'll likely write up a post fairly soon on this because I have some additional thoughts, but it's easier to convey them there than in the comments here.

[binarygraphite]

@DavidHeatonPhoto Well I don't think I know what is the "best" way but I have some suggestions that might be worthwhile. Above all I wouldn't say it's easy to make a living out of it. However, strong dedication and constant marketing (like online [blogs, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, own website, even YouTube] and to galleries, magazines, stock photo agencies, marketing firms, etc.) would certainly help and in my opinion is a must. In addition, you could also consider...
