It is important to master your 24-105mm zoom lens for landscape photography. My experience is with the Sony 24-105, but the video is brand independent and the tips also work for lenses with focal lengths slightly off from the 24-105. The 24-105mm lens is my go-to lens for full-frame landscape photography. With its wide focal range, it can both make those incredible wide-angle photos, the "normal to human vision" photos, and short telephoto lens photos. In this video presentation, I will show and discuss how to use those three approaches in landscape photography.

  • This is the best video I’ve seen, regarding the 24-105. Your pics/settings/explanations have inspired me to maximize my lens and get better.
  • @loribenton5975
    The Sony 24-105 has become my primary lens for landscape photography over this past year. I rarely remove it from the camera body (an A7II) now though I still take along my 16-35 just in case. And I have always loved your music choice, Mads. You, Simon, and Nick are tied for my favorite music among landscape vloggers. You each create different moods with your choices and I love them all.
  • @acme9538
    I really appreciate that you include settings for some of the images. It offers a baseline to begin with. Your narration is also pleasing and relevant to the content you are providing. Your channel is very inspiring and I thank for taking the time to share. Cheers.
  • Totally agree Mads! I've had a 24-105 in my backpack for years and it's my most versatile and most used lens. I've never understood landscape photographers who use the 24-70mm f/2.8 over the 24-105mm f/4. I'd rather have the extra reach over the additional stop of light.
  • @eddbutcher
    I literally just bought this lens today. Great timing 😂
  • @rjolsson
    Thanks (a couple of years late) for this video. I have found myself using my 24-105 less often over the past year, and now realize what a mistake that has been. Only been following you the past few months, but I learn something every time. I will also endorse your 2 composition ebooks.
  • @scotty4418
    Tuesdays are always brightened up when you release your videos Mads as one thing is guaranteed and that is the array of beautiful images only serve to inspire the creativity in us all. Watched your interview with Greg Snell a couple of days ago and really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on creativity and also your insights into the YT algorithm
  • @RobertJamason
    Mads I have to tell you … I have been doing photography for almost 20 years now … and in all my years I have never had a favorite photographer that I could name … including Ansel Adams I know as a photographer I’m supposed to love his work … it just never grabbed me … I have seen images I love from many different photographers… could never name a photographer by name that I love all their work … I can truly say after finding your work … I finally have a favorite photographer I can actually name … thank you for such great work and amazing videos as well 🙏
  • @epronske
    I like how you broke up the different focal length ranges into three different compositional entities. I use the same 24-105 and it is terrific and your video gave me a new to approach composition. Cheers, Erik
  • @jackthair8311
    Mission accomplished. Just finished watching everyone of your videos from start to finish.
  • Love my 24-105, it's always the lens I have on when I leave the house! Just started your Photoshop course last night as well, loving it so far!
  • @aliputera113
    This Range is perfect for me. I m using 24-120mm range. Very Happy, all Range can get without change lenses.
  • I love the “knarle “ trees. A lot of character in the twisted branches. Thanks for the video.
  • @jerrykita8767
    Mads, informative as always. The 24-105 lens is the one that came with my camera. Great refresher on why it's good lens to carry around.
  • @jrosedds42
    An excellent video full of practical tips and illustrated by stunning photos, as usual. Superb.
  • @MrFreddGG
    I am grateful to the YouTube algorithm for recommending this video and I am speechless when watching this majestic video. Just wow. Like, subscribe and good vibes forever
  • @debbieross5836
    Just got this lens in a Black Friday deal , loving it . Thanks for great videos .
  • @marklawson3141
    Great video Mads. I (like you) have this lens on an A7R3 and it takes most of my photos for travel and hiking as it's so sharp and versatile. With the IS, I can, if careful, handhold to c. 1/3s for waterfalls etc too if I don't use a tripod. Also the longer end is handy for small birds etc that often come up to you on tracks (I live in New Zealand) and due to the sharpness I can crop and still get very high quality images. Also for travel this lens plus a wide angle zoom and a 100-400 covers the bases nicely!
  • @willemakit48
    One of the lenses I bought with my new Sony after I took my Canon for a swim ( it performed well in the dunking...but it was time for a change) I went Sony with a Sigma 14-24 2.8, the Sony 24-105, and Sony 70-200. On your first video about the 24-105 , thanks Mads, I realized the 24-70 was good, but suprised , while not a G Master, the 24-105 was an option that was as well reviewed as the 24-70, but gives a much better reach and options without having to change as often. Thanks Mads, great video!
