25 Magnificent Landscape Photography examples and Composition Tips
Different Techniques of Landscape Photography:
There are three different techniques for landscape photography: representation, impression, and abstract.
Representation: These landscape photographs are WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). Photographers don’t add any special effects or props to these shots, but the weather and lighting play important roles in this technique.
Impression: In this technique, photographers use various methods to show viewers unrealistic images. You might see snow and desert combined in one picture; this is just one example.
Abstract: In this technique, the photographer views every part of nature as a graphical element. A great deal of rendering, resizing, or retouching is applied to these landscape photographs.

Landscape Photography Tips:
1. While taking landscape photography, avoid closeup shots of animals, animals can be in the landscape photo, only if they are relatively small in size.
2. Light plays a major role, so if you are not satisfied the first time, go back to the same spot when the weather and light is little better. This has always been followed by top landscape photographers.
3. Make sure you carry a tripod, because it allows capturing sharp images even in low light situations.
4. Landscape photography is more like panorama, so make sure you show maximum depth in your photos.
5. Choose one or more subjects as the foreground image, they will act as 3d images in your landscape photography and will give an interesting effect.
6. Have atleast one focus point; else it will make your image as an endless shot. These can be high raised buildings, boulders, rocks, cottages etc.
7. Don’t forget to include the sky, sometimes clouds have interesting formations and you can polarize them post production. It gives more color and contrast and makes your clouds striking.
8. Add more lines to your pictures; it captures the viewer’s attention. Lines can be the walls of a house, row of flowers etc.
9. Landscape photography don’t have to be boring, you can capture the wind blowing on the trees, flowers falling from trees etc. These kinds of pictures talk a lot about the environment.
