This week on In Focus, Adam and Joe talk through their favorite camera settings for landscape and architecture photography. While each situation is different - from time of year, sun position, interior lights, etc - these base settings can give you a great starting point to set you up for success whether you are out in the field photographing a mountain sunset, stars in the sky, or the interior of a building.
