8 Helpful Camera Hacks for Landscape Photographers

Landscape photography often takes a wide variety of accessories to produce a finished image, and it is easy to forget them or get bogged down by the cost of it all. This awesome video tutorial will show you a range of hacks and useful techniques to make it easier to take photos and explore your creativity a bit more. 

Coming to you from Mark Denney, this great video tutorial will show you eight useful camera hacks for landscape photography. One hack that has helped me countless times over the years is using my hand to block the sun. I love shooting into the sun, but that has often caused issues with flares. A useful trick I have learned is to take two shots (using a tripod), one with my hand covering the part of the frame with the sun to fix the flare and ghosting and one without my hand there. From there, it is super easy to composite them in post. This allows me to compose images however I would like without worry. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Denney.
