Landscape photography depicts scenery such as rivers, mountains, buildings, lakes, trees, and forests and so on. The sky is always a major part in the composition; you need to pay attention to the horizontal balance. In addition, the weather usually is another main concern. To taking landscape photograph, a DC that equipped with an anti-shake function and of wide-angle focal length such as 24mm X28mm would be very good for this purpose.

If you are using an APS size DSLR, a lens of 17mm¡X18mm focal length is the basic requirement for taking landscape photograph. AV mode becomes very useful because it allows you to reduce the diaphragm to avoid out-of-focus situation. Besides, you may adjust the level of sharpness. By the same token, TV mode enables you to control the expose time to achieve many effects such as a long track of light.
