Shoot in Aperture Priority Mode

If you’ve been shooting in manual mode for years, and you love it, just skip this page, but for everybody else, especially somebody fairly new to landscape photography, I recommend shooting in aperture priority mode (it’s AV or A on the mode dial of most cameras). What this means is that you choose the f-stop and the camera automatically chooses what it thinks the proper shutter speed is for the scene you’re currently aiming at. It’s simple (you only have one decision to make, especially since your ISO has already been decided—set it at 100 ISO on a tripod).
