10 TECHNIQUES FOR BETTER LANDSCARES

Broadening your techniques is a surefire way of mastering the art of landscape photography. Capturing epic landscapes involves thinking beyond the ordinary and being creative in your approach. Besides the basics of camera kit, using a tripod and achieving good depth of field, the key aspects professionals consider when capturing awe-inspiring landscapes include composition, framing, lighting and balance, making use of the different elements and focal points available, such as a lone tree, an interesting building, mountains, rivers and a wide-open sweeping landscape.

The way a pro landscape photographer approaches and captures a scene comes from vast experience and knowledge from being in the field, where applying specific exposure, colour and composition techniques can separate their image from the rest. The methods highlighted here are tried-and-tested tools that draw on one professional's outlook: they can be applied to any location, wherever you are capturing the landscape, so give them a try and elevate your images.
