Landscape Photo

For those who are doing their first landscape shot, you may be disappointed when the prints don’t look as professional as you would like them too..

Although it helps to have a breathtaking view to start with, landscape photography is an art just like setting up a portrait or still life is. However, you will learn to use what you've got when it comes to making a landscape work for you and the pictures that you desire. First, remember the basics. Always think with a photographer’s mind. You may not be able to move the scenery, but you can learn how to pick good scenery to work with and also where you can apply many of the rules and techniques that you can learn about when studying photography. The scenery cannot move, but you can, so look for the perfect host to employ composition techniques such as the rule of thirds. Be conscious of where your horizon line falls, and look at how the elements of the frame work together to create diagonal lines. Although, if the shot isn’t so perfect, you will want to learn to move on and find other places to capture it’s essential beauty.
You will also want to keep in mind the time of day and the season. Night shots can be beautiful, but it is very disappointing when you want to shoot a sunset and you arrive just as the last rays disappear behind the mountains. When you aren’t familiar with the location, you will want to listen to local weather stations so that you can steer clear of the rain and other bad weather and capture the perfect sky in the background. Gardeners familiar to the area are useful for this as well. They can tell you what weekend the autumn leaves will be the most brilliant or which month certain flowers bloom on the hillside.
Nature is one of the best snapshots that you can capture. Animals might even give you an added surprise. You will want to prepare to make the most out of your time in a specific location. You will want to be camera ready so that you can make the most out of any surprise shots, and capture the beauty of the moment.
