6 Landscape photography tips for beginners
2
Introduction
Landscape photography has always been a favorite
of both the amateurs and the professionals alike.
Its increased popularity doesnt signify the fact
that its as easy as a piece of cake. A
breathtaking postcard image depends mainly on the
technique of the photographer not on the quality
of the camera. Anyway, here are a few landscape
photography tips that are tailor-made
specifically for the beginners.
3
Use a wide-angle lens
Wide angle lenses are apt for landscape
photography because of their ability to capture a
broader view in comparison to the regular lenses.
Thus, they can easily convey a sense of wide open
space to the audience which other lenses fail to
portray. They also tend to give you a greater
depth of field and allow you to use faster
shutter speeds because they allow more light to
get into their snapshots.
4
Create depth
When you are taking an exceptional landscape
photograph, its advisable to create a sense of
depth in the image. To do so, you have to use a
small aperture. And dont forget to use a tripod
to reduce camera shake.
5
Use filters
To get the best landscape images, you should use
two filters in your photographs. A polarizing
filter helps in balancing the contrast of the
image. A neutral density filter helps to prevent
the entry of too much light into the camera which
is particularly very useful on bright days.
6
Use water as a mirror
You can use reflections to your advantage. Use
them to increase the zing factor of your
landscape photographs. The best times for these
kinds of shots are during the so-called golden
hours which are specifically the first hour after
sunrise and the last hour before sunset.
7
Account subjects
A landscape photograph shouldnt be all about
nature. It should be something more. A cute
little child is more than capable of
complementing a landscape photograph. So dont
hesitate go ahead and take the shot ASAP.
8
Shoot at low ISO
The lower the ISO, the clearer your photographs
going to be. Hence, it is advisable to shoot with
the lowest ISO settings as possible especially
when landscape photographys concerned.
