supreme test of photographers – and
often the supreme disappointment.”
Ansel Adams

4. 
Landscape photography is intended to show
different spaces within the world, sometimes vast and
unending, but other times microscopic.

Photographs typically capture the presence of nature
but can also focus on man-made features or
disturbances of landscapes, especially within
contemporary photography.

Landscape photographers often attempt to document
the space as well as convey an appreciation of the
scenery.

5. WIDE ANGLE LENS

The use of wide angle lenses is very common in
landscape photography.

Wide angle lenses are mostly considered as lenses
with a focal length of 24mm and wider for full frame
DSLR’s or 18mm and wider for crop-sensor DSLR’s.

Shooting with wide angle lenses has unique
characteristics and great advantages which I will
specify and explain in this article.

6. TIPS

7. Maximize your Depth of Field
In nature photography, the normal approach is to
ensure that as much of your scene is in focus as
possible. The simplest way to do this is to choose a
small Aperture setting (a large number) as the smaller
your aperture the greater the depth of field in your
shots.

9. Use a Tripod
As a result of the longer shutter speed that you may
need to select to compensate for a small aperture you
will need to find a way of ensuring your camera is
completely still during the exposure.

10. Look for a Focal Point
Landscape photographs without a focal point will
end up looking rather empty and will leave your
viewers eye wondering through the image with
nowhere to rest.

11. Think Foregrounds
One element that can set apart your landscape shot is
to think carefully about the foreground of your shots
and by placing points of interest in them. When you
do this you give those viewing the shot a way into
the image as well as creating a sense of depth in your
shot.

13. Consider the Sky
Most landscapes will either have a dominant
foreground or sky – unless you have one or the other
your shot can end up being fairly boring.

15. Work with the Weather
A scene can change dramatically depending upon the
weather at any given moment. As a result, choosing
the right time to shoot is of real importance.

16. Work the Golden Hours
Most nature photographers only shoot around dawn
and dusk – because that’s when the light is best and
they find that landscapes come alive.
