Landscape Photography

Today I shall talk about Landscape Photography. Landscape can be of all sorts of things, such as beaches, mountains, sand dunes, and much more! You might probably think, "oh, landscapes, those are soe easy anyone can take a picture of a landscape!" This is mostly true, but with some extra equipment you can make your landscape photos even more amazing.

Digital-Photography-School.com has some great tips to really make your landscapes look amazing.

• Maxamize your Depth of Field - Get as much of the scene as you can into your picture. This is done by choosing a small apeture setting.
• Use a tripod - There is really no reason not to use a tripod if you have one. They help to keep your camera still so that you get as clear a picture as possible.
• Look for a focal point - all shots need a focal point so the viewers no what to look at instead of wondering throughout a photo.
• Think about Foregrounds - These can really help to add depth into you landscape photos.
• Consider Sky - Most landscapes will have either a dominate foreground or sky. Unless you have one or the other your shot can end up rather boring.
• Lines - lines can give a sense of depth, scale, and can be a point of interest.
• Capture Movement - Landscapes are almost never still and to capture this movement in an image can add mood and drama.
• Work with Weather - Weather can change at any given point or time. Choosing the right time to shoot is important.
• Work with the "Golden Hours" - take pictures at dawn and dusk. You can get some interesting lighting.
• Think about Horizons - Be sure the image is straight and make sure it is composed properly

That's pretty much it for landscape photography. I will provide some links with some pictures as well as the original link where I found the tipsm as it too contains some pretty amazing landscape photos.
