Best way to use a STANDARD ZOOM lens for EPIC photos!

The 24-70mm, 24-105mm, and other standard zoom lenses are powerful tools for getting EPIC photos. In this video, I visit several different locations in the Faroe Islands where I use the standard zoom focal range to take some amazing landscape photos!

    A stunning set of images Mads, especially those where the snow tornados were whipping up the snow. The dynamic range in that final image was insane too and a great example of what people can learn if they subscribe your tutorial. The person in the scene really does add to the sense of scale when you see the vastness of the Faroe Islands

    Great topic! Just got back from a week hiking in Mallorca. Tried out my new z6ii with the 24-200mm. Very pleased with the images especially first time doing landscape with the camera and lens. PS - Also did a bit of street and night photography. This camera/lens combo is quite impressive in low-light situations.

    Awesome conditions. What a location. I’m using my 24-70mm f/2.8 more often recently for both woodland and open landscapes. Do you ever use 1.4 or 2 X extender to save taking another lens and to totally cover the focal range up to your 100-400mm? Always enjoy your videos and enthusiasm. 👍🏼😎

    Normally I don't like people in landscape shots but I'm starting to come around to it. Landscape painters used people to communicate scale in certain landscapes. It works well with the last shot and the snow around the figure. Mood. Scale. Atmosphere.

    Ok maybe i got what you meant… When the camera is seeing a lot of snow in a scene, it perceives it as very bright already… so it compensates this things underexposing the other parts? Correct? So you bump up 1 stop, because higlights won’t be clipped anyway (no zebras in fact). but i think it depends also on the kind of exposure metering we are using, don’t you think?
