An automatic exposure mode which selects a small aperture to increase the amount in focus, which is generally desirable for landscape photography
This type of photography focuses not so much on planning and careful setup, instead it concentrates on showing spontaneity: a candid photographer prefers not to plan his pictures and captures people without having them pose. He likes to be unobtrusive in order to achieve this.
This, of course, contrasts with other types of photography where the photographer carefully stages or composes his images, like in portrait, landscape or still life photography. A candid photographer captures moments in time from life as it really is.
Also see street photography, documentary photography.
One of the earliest forms of camera meter that takes a reading from most of the image area, but biases the measurement towards the lower central portion of the image. In landscape photography its a good idea to point the camera down slightly and take a reading without any sky in the view to ensure more accurate results.
A
spirit level is used to ensure the tripod head is perfectly horizontal. It's
handy for architectural and landscape photography as it helps you keep verticals
truly vertical and avoid a sloping horizon. It a feature that's missing from
many tripods, but you can buy an accessory that slide into the camera's hot shoe
or screw into the shutter release. Alternatively a small spirit level from the
local hardware store would be adequate.
An auto-exposure mode where you select the required lens aperture and the
camera sets the necessary shutter speed, to give the correct exposure based on
the auto meter reading. This mode is ideal for landscape and still-life
photography where maximum depth-of-field is required. It's either indicated on
the camera as AP (aperture priority) or AV (aperture value).
