The use of remote photography is uncommon in landscape photography despite the fact that it can be of great benefit in a variety of contexts. In spite of this, it can be quite useful, and if you watch this entertaining video, I’ll show you some of the things you can do with it.
This cool video, which was brought to your attention by Christian Irmler – Landscape Photography, gives you an inside look at the process of photographing landscapes in remote locations. Irmler puts his wife to work as his “remote hands” in this scenario; however, it is perfectly possible to use actual remote controls instead.
When I’m taking pictures at concerts, one of my go-to strategies is to position the camera as close to the stage as possible while still avoiding disturbing the act. I had never considered using it for landscape photography before, but now that you mention it, it makes a lot of sense.
There is no such thing as a duplicate sunrise or sunset; therefore, you will need to employ some ingenuity if you wish to capture multiple vantage points at the same time. There are a few different options available, including the use of a remote trigger, intervalometers, or even an extra set of hands. Watch the video that’s been embedded above to get the complete rundown from Irmler.
