WHO THIS IS FOR
Photographers who know their camera basics but want field-ready guidance for landscapes specifically. You understand aperture and shutter speed. You don't need hand-holding. You need a reference from someone who's been in the field telling you what actually works.
This isn't a textbook. It's a working tool designed to be pulled out when you're standing in front of a scene wondering what to do.
NOT INCLUDED
- Post-processing tutorials (this is about capturing the shot)
- Camera operation basics (you already know those)
- Gear reviews or buying guides
- Generic photography theory
THE ONE-PAGE CHEAT SHEET
Every photographer needs quick reminders. The built-in cheat sheet covers:
- Composition essentials (foreground, subject, leading lines, simplify, edges)
- Light essentials (golden hour, overcast, harsh light, backlight, side light)
- Technical defaults (f/8–f/11, silky water settings, freezing motion)
- The five questions to ask before every shot
FIELD GEAR CHECKLIST
A complete packing checklist with scenario-specific additions for water, mountains, forests, desert, coastal, and night photography.
