Do’s

Do take benefit of what’s accessible near your home. It’s easy to say that the “grass is always greener on the other side” and miss the beauty that lies within your own city. But the most important point is that it is manageable to capture a great landscape image almost anywhere. What’s more important is that it is a great idea to learn with the gears you have to improve on your present skill set. So when you look over a truly impressive view, you’d know exactly what to do.

DO consider the foreground, mid-ground, and background when looking out for composition in landscape photography. Ideally, you want a photograph to take the viewer on a trip, having something interesting in every part of your image naturally leads the eye throughout the picture, making a more dynamic image overall.

DO utilise your camera’s metering to get the perfect exposure. If you are working on a picture with a high dynamic range, it helps you to bring out the mid-tones in an image. From that part, you can play with the highlights or shadows to make a photograph that suits your own personal style.
