    Hi Nick, There is no standard exposure like that. But a few tips – depending on the lens being used (assume it’s wide angle) and the lighting you may want to use a aperture value of f8 and ISO between 100-400 (depends purely on light) and choose a shutter speed depending on the scene you are shooting.

    It’s important that you understand about the core concepts of exposure and arrive at your own settings based on the creativity of what you want to shoot.

    Not an expert but my understanding says, keep aperture high for landscape photos because you need full depth of field unless you are trying to focus on any particular structure. ISO usually around 1000 works for low to normal light but it will purely depend on the light you have. Landscape photos usually won’t need very fast shutter speed.

    For below image,

    Camera: Nikon D7500, lens: 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6

    my settings were: ISO-250, S – 1/250sec, Max Aperture – 4, WB – Auto

    Hope this helps as a reference.
