Mistakes Landscape Photographers Make With Telephoto Lenses

Landscape photography typically defaults to using wide angle lenses, but telephoto lenses can be an equally powerful tool. However, telephotos lenses come with their own traps and pitfalls as well. This excellent video tutorial features an experienced landscape photographer discussing some of the most common mistakes made with telephoto lenses and how to fix or avoid them. 

Coming to you from Mads Peter Iversen, this great video tutorial will show you some of the most common mistakes landscape photographers make with telephoto lenses and how to fix them. Lenses like a 70-200mm can be a fantastic tool for landscape work, and frankly, they do not get used enough. The beauty of a longer zoom is that it can simplify an otherwise busy scene or allow you to focus in on one specific interesting element. And the beauty is that for landscape photography, you do not need to carry an expensive and heavy f/2.8 version; an f/4 option will do perfectly fine. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Iversen.
