Description

Big foreground, big sky. The near-to-far composition. In this video, professional outdoor photographer Ian Plant shows you how to capture a distinct landscape image in the South Dakota Badlands with the ultra wide-angle lens.

He explains, “To make a creative photograph with your ultra wide lens, you need to get close to both your foreground and background.” Using the ultra-wide 11mm lens, he positions himself low and composes an arid mountain under dramatic cloud patterns, then fills the frame’s lower half with the undulating ground pattern. The result is a spectacular image of mountain and sky.

Join pro shooter Ian Plant, who demonstrates the concept of near-to-far to create beautiful landscapes.
