Changing weather can really change how I set up my camera when I'm taking pictures of landscapes. Here’s how I adjust my settings based on the weather:

1. Overcast Days:

• Aperture: I like to open my aperture (which means making the hole in the lens bigger) so more light comes in. I usually set it between f/4 and f/8. This helps me get nice background blur and focus on the main subject.
• Shutter Speed: Since it's darker on cloudy days, I slow down my shutter speed. I try to keep it below the number that matches my lens length. For example, if I'm using a 24mm lens, I set it to around 1/25 of a second.
• ISO: I turn my ISO up to about 200-400 to make sure the picture is bright enough.

2. Bright, Sunny Days:

• Aperture: On sunny days, I close my aperture (making it smaller) to about f/11 or f/16. This helps keep everything in focus and sharp.
• Shutter Speed: With all that light, I can use a fast shutter speed, like 1/1000 of a second, to freeze any movement, especially if there’s water in the shot.
• ISO: I lower my ISO back down to 100 to keep the photo looking good.

3. Golden Hour or Sunrise/Sunset:

• Aperture: During golden hour, I love to open my aperture all the way to f/2.8. This helps create a soft focus effect around the main subject.
• Shutter Speed: My shutter speed changes depending on how bright it is, but I usually set it between 1/60 and 1/125 of a second.
• ISO: I keep my ISO low at about 100 to capture those warm colors.

By adjusting these settings, I can capture the beauty of the landscape, no matter what the weather is like.
