To keep you from having to read this over and over again, for most of the recipes in this chapter: The first step is to put your camera on a tripod and attach a cable release or use a wireless shutter release. I’m just going to write that once, here on this first page, and then it’s just implied for the other recipes. Well, quite honestly, I didn’t use a tripod for the daylight shot on page 207, or a couple of others I shot in daylight, so it’s for most of the shots. For those that were taken in broad daylight, I knew I would have a really fast shutter speed with that much light, so I didn’t pull out my tripod or Platypod like I did for the rest of the shots. Now, would the shots have been sharper if I had? You bet! Anyway, as you’ve learned throughout this book, a tripod and cable release for landscape photographers are as important as a stove and some cooking utensils are for a chef. You need both pretty much every time to nail the recipe. From here on out, I’ll just give you the type of photo it is, and the recipe to get the look, without going into all that tripod and release stuff, ‘cause like a good chef (which is one who cooks lots of comfort food or things smothered in sauce, by the way), you already know that stuff. Alright, preheat the oven, let’s get cookin’.
