Guide for Shooting Landscapes

Learn how to photograph any type of Landscape with this simple guide.
Landscapes and photos of landscapes are popular because they are accessible to everyone. As subjects they are all around us, often overlooked as we do other things, making them ideal to shoot when out and about.

Landscapes do not require any specific equipment or even expertise. Other genres, such as macro photography, require much more expensive and complex photo gear and methods, and take a lot of practice. But landscapes can be captured on any camera, from a smartphone to a DSLR, they don’t require any special knowledge and great shots can be captured in seconds.
When thinking of landscapes, many people picture scenic rolling hills out in the countryside. However, this genre can include a range of subjects, from simple beach shots to town and cityscapes.

Although quick to shoot and accessible to everyone, to capture some really 
exceptional views there are a few elements to consider. These include your camera settings, how you piece your shot together and even the lighting of the scene.

Composition

Get great shots every time using these simple rules:
Master these easy compositionaL tricks to get the most out of any Landscape you shoot

Composition generally dictates what your resulting image will look like. It
refers to elements such as how you frame the scene you are photographing and where you place certain elements in the shot to get the most visually interesting photo possible.

Do and Don'ts

Grid Lines
Most digital cameras now come with grids that can be overlaid onto the LCD screen, allowing you to apply the rule of thirds while taking your shot.

Tripod
Using a tripod will not only allow you to keep your camera still, but it also helps you to get a straight image and perfect your photo’s composition.

Lens hood
Using a lens hood when out shooting will help to protect the delicate glass of your lens, as well as reduce the risk of any glare entering your shot.

Image aspect
Many cameras are able to shoot in a 16:9 image aspect, which gives images a wide-angle look, great for capturing sweeping photos of the countryside.

High ISO
With landscapes you want to capture the details of your scene. Use a low ISO to avoid unwanted grain and to keep the color of your shots saturated.

Vibration reduction
Turn off vibration reduction if you’re using a tripod. It will try to make up for movement that isn’t there, making your shot blurry.
