The Aperture Hack I Swear By: F/16!

When it comes to settings, my go-to aperture is f/16. In this video, I explain why I use f/16 so much in my landscape photography. It is not the "perfect" aperture, but it comes with different benefits having a go-to aperture. Be aware that f/16 is probably not the "best" aperture for everyone - you have to take your lenses, your camera system, and ALWAYS the scene into consideration! Some lenses doesn't even go to f/16. Besides explaining why my reasoning for f/16 I also explain how I focus stack and I show a ton of photos from an absolutely incredible photography morning.
