HOW TO BECOME A LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHER

What to shoot

Think about what’s in your mind’s eye when you look at a landscape. Look beyond the literal. It’s not just about the big picture – there are pictures within pictures. It’s got to be something that speaks to you.

How to shoot

Less is more. Try to simplify the landscape. Think about what’s unnecessary, what you can you leave out from the image, leave the basic elements. If there is too much in a picture it reduces the impact and the eye is drawn away from the subject you are focusing on. It is also important to leave enough information for people to know what they are looking at straight away.

When to shoot

The best times of day for landscape light are dawn and dusk. For sunsets you will get a better picture if you wait up to half an hour after the sun has gone down. If you have to ask yourself:  “Have I got that picture?” the answer is no. If you haven’t got it, get closer and try again.
