Taking landscape pictures Outdoor scenes such as flower scenery and night scenery are some of the landscape pictures. There are different things to take note when taking different landscape pictures. This section describes taking outdoor scenery pictures such as forests and lakes in the day. Changing shooting mode Outdoor scenery includes both motion and still sceneries. The shooting method changes accordingly in order to capture a realistic movement of the subject. • To take a picture that focuses on a certain point among a wider range of the image such as bringing out the depth of a forest, use A (Aperture priority shooting) mode and close the aperture (increase the aperture value) as much as possible. • To capture the instant where waves smash against the seashore, use S (Shutter priority shooting) mode and select a fast shutter speed. To shoot flowing waterfall or river, set a slow shutter speed to capture a scene different from the actual scene. Exposure compensation can be used even under different shooting modes. Check the image that you have shot and use + or - to compensate. Using white balance 10 Getting to know your camera better The color of water is different depending on whether it is a lake surrounded by forests or a tropical sea. To capture the subtle difference in color, try changing the white balance setting. It may be difficult to use auto settings to capture the subtle colors of a lake reflecting the leafy green of the trees or a sea surrounded by corals. Try changing the settings for different situations such as 5300K for sunny days and 7500K for an outdoor shaded area during sunny days. 143
