Do you always reach for your widest lens the moment you see a beautiful landscape? It is a very common habit, but often trying to fit everything in just leaves us with a cluttered frame and tiny details. In this recorded session, the highly respected Robert Harvey helps us break that habit and rethink how we approach the great outdoors.
Rather than just showing a portfolio of pretty pictures, Robert demonstrates the practical use of the entire focal range. Using approximately 150 high-definition examples, he explains the thinking and planning behind each shot, from telephoto compression to creative perspectives.

Beyond the Wide Angle: How to spot compositions that actually benefit from a longer lens to create drama and focus.
