What is depth of field in landscape photography?

Depth of field refers to the range of distance within a photo that appears sharp and in focus. In landscape photography, a greater depth of field is often desired to keep both the foreground and background sharp.

How can I achieve a greater depth of field?

To achieve a greater depth of field, you can use a smaller aperture (higher f-stop number), increase the distance from your subject, or use a wide-angle lens.

Are there any specific settings you recommend for landscapes?

For landscapes, try using an aperture of f/8 to f/16, a low ISO (like 100), and a shutter speed that suits the lighting conditions.

What about using filters?

Using a polarizing filter can help enhance colors and reduce glare, while a neutral density filter allows for longer exposures without overexposing the image.
