Thank you for letting me set in on this.
Can you recommend a wide angle lens?
Enjoyed the presentation very much! Can’t wait until you can incorporate photo examples as the discussion goes along. Thanks for doing this. I look forward to the next one.
We’re hoping to add this feature to our next LIVE event!

Landscape secrets…yes!
Thank you
Thanks! Fantastic information! Hoping for great weather for you during the eclipse.
Cheers from Nova Scotia.
thanks.
Can he please repeat the app he mentioned?
It is called Photographer’s Ephemeris.
Thank you for the tips and lots of info … hope to have another one soon, thank you.
Thank you for all the informations. I am not so good in english. Could you give the name of the book on depth of field again ?
It is an ebook/video course called Focusing for Landscape Photography: https://www.outdoorphotographyguide.com/product/focusing-landscape-photography-ebook-video/
Ian is welcome to email me regarding the eclipse. I’m part of a team to image the eclipse and I’m using a program called SETnC to run my canon camera during totality.
Using live view, It sounds like it is safe to use the LCD without eye damage. Just Do Not Look at the sun even for a moment
Thanks for the webinar. Love your work! Any recommendations for reducing blown-out highlights (Canon)? I’ve been using exposure compensation, and still have to kill highlights in Lightroom on almost everything.
What was that app again?
Can you aim your camera at a mirror at an angle during the eclipse versus at the sun and not damage the sensor?
Ian, do you ever shoot in the rain? If so, how do you protect your equipment from being ruined?
Looking forward to learning new techniques
Hi Ian, What are your preferred settings for milky way shots (iso, shutter speed, aperture) ? Thanks

have you shot a solar eclipse? Will you be shooting the upcoming Aug. 21st eclipse? Is there particular scenery that works well with eclipses?
Nice event. Always like your thoughtful approach to making images. Thanks for sharing!
Have you ever used a PC (Shift) lens for extended DOF?
Mr. Plant has such a wealth of knowledge and is so unassuming and gracious in his responses – thank you for doing this!

What is the best lens for beach landscape photography
With the mirrorless technology getting better and better, is it better to take landscape photos with a full frame mirrorless camera rather than a full frame dslr?
Thanks for the invite. Do you use filters regularly such as the GND and ND and if so what brand do you use?
I am looking for information on using filters, thank you.

I love landscape photography and Ian Plant’s photos
My interest is landscape photography. I have two questions:
1) My primary camera is a Canon 5DMkII with a selection of Canon L lenses. I also have a Canon 40D. If I were to upgrade my 5DMkII, would you recommend a 5DMkIII (because prices are lower now), a 5DMkIV, or wait until whatever comes next?
2) Do you make your own prints or do you have them done commercially? I you print your own, what printer do you use and what’s your preferred paper. I currently have a Canon Pixma Pro9000 MkII. If you have them done commercially, who do you use?
Looking forward!
Looking forward to it!
