What kind of film should I use for landscape photography?
It is generally recommended to use any film stock rated at ISO 200 or above for landscape photographs. Although of course this depends on the lighting and weather conditions you’ll be experiencing.
Fresh Film Landscape Photographs
Depending on the available light, as well as the time of year and part of the world where you’re photographing landscapes, you will usually be fine to use ISO 200–400 during mornings and afternoons. During evenings and night ISO 800 and higher must be used.
Expired Films Landscape Photographs
Shooting with expired film stocks to take landscape photographs is also possible and can produce extremely unique colors when certain adjustments are made. These adjustments being within the exposure compensation (i.e. shutter speed) and during the film development process (i.e. pushing and/or pulling film).
We cover how to shoot with expired film stocks over on the Lomography Magazine and here on LomoSchool as well:
• What is pushing or pulling a film?
• Should you push film in low light?
