The 24–70mm is one of those lenses that can handle almost anything. From landscapes and architecture to portraits, travel and even food — 24mm gives you a wider perspective, while 70mm lets you get closer and isolate your subject.

These photos were all shot with a 24–70mm, using two different lenses: the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S and the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II.

And you don't necessarily need an f/2.8 version. A 24–70mm f/4 is also a fantastic option if you want something lighter and more affordable.

If you could only take one lens on a trip, would a 24–70mm be your choice? 👀

There are so many different ways to compose a photo – and sometimes it’s just about seeing what’s already there.

- Triangular composition
- Leading lines
- Diagonal lines
- Layered composition
- Central composition
- Frame within a frame
- S-curves

There’s no single “right” way to compose an image. Sometimes you plan it, sometimes you just notice a nice shape or line and go with it.

Which one is your favourite? 👇

From ultra wide to telephoto zoom 📸

14mm all the way to 600mm — showing just how much perspective can change with focal length.

• 14-24mm — capturing the big picture
• 24–70mm — a versatile range for landscapes and everyday scenes
• 70–200mm — compressing the landscape and isolating subjects
• 180–600mm — getting close without getting closer

Every focal length gives you a different way of seeing the same world.

Which focal length do you use the most? 👇

Aperture isn’t just about how much of the image is in focus – it can completely change the look and feel of a photo.

From f/1.2 to f/32, here are some examples from my archive.

And yes… I went way too far with some of these 😂

I wouldn’t generally recommend shooting at f/22, f/29 or f/32. At very small apertures, diffraction can actually reduce overall sharpness. Most of the time, you’ll get better results somewhere around f/5.6–f/11, depending on the scene.

But sometimes you just have to experiment.

Which aperture do you use the most?

What if the Rule of Thirds… wasn’t so precise?

You’ve probably seen the classic Rule of Thirds grid a million times.

This is a new take on it.. not exactly a revolutionary photography tip… but I kinda like this little trend 👀

Do you use Rule of Thirds grid?

I think the idea of a niche is interesting, but I don't think you necessarily need to have everything figured out from the beginning.

For me, photography is mostly landscape, outdoor and travel, but I also really enjoy photographing wildlife and whatever else catches my eye.

A niche can be useful. It can give you direction, help people understand what you do, and make it easier to build a recognisable style.

But I don't think it should put you in a box.

Trying different things is part of finding out what you actually enjoy – and your niche can change along the way.

🌿 What do you think? Do you have a photography niche, or do you prefer to keep it open?

ISO is one of those camera settings that can seem a little confusing at first 📸

As a general rule, you’ll often use a low ISO in bright conditions and increase it as the light gets darker. But ISO isn’t only about how bright the scene is.

Sometimes you might deliberately change your ISO because of the other settings you want to use. Maybe you want a faster shutter speed to freeze movement, or a smaller aperture to get more depth of field. In those situations, adjusting ISO can help you get the exposure you’re looking for.

There’s no single “correct” ISO – it’s all about balancing ISO, shutter speed and aperture for the image you want to create.

What ISO do you find yourself using the most? 👇

I think simplicity and minimalism often go hand in hand in photography. Fewer elements, less noise, and just enough to make an image work.

But simplicity doesn't necessarily mean an image has to be easy to understand. Sometimes it's more about removing everything that isn't needed and letting a single subject, shape, colour or moment speak for itself.

These images all feel simple to me in very different ways.

What does simplicity in photography mean to you? Do you see it in these images, or would you describe them differently?

From ZERO to HERO 📸

RAW files can look pretty dull straight out of camera – but that’s kind of the point.

Here are a few examples showing the RAW → final edit, along with the EXIF data behind each image.

A little editing can go a long way.

Composition is one of those things in photography that can completely change how an image feels.

There are plenty of “rules” and techniques you can use to guide the viewer’s eye – but I don’t think any of them are rules you have to follow.

Those composition I often look for when I’m photographing are:
- Rule of thirds
- Leading lines
- Foreground & middle ground (and background)
- Central composition
- S-curves

Some images might use one of these techniques very deliberately. Others might combine several, or completely ignore them.

The important part, at least for me, is understanding why a composition works – and then deciding whether that approach fits the image you’re trying to create.

🌿 Which one do you use most?
