10 Tips Landscape Photography


These Tips are very useful for photographing the landscape. But a nice photo is not always the correct photo. So please just to break these tips, but before we got to know first. Let us refer to the following tips :


1. Note the Horizon

If we are dealing with a landscape, almost certainly we will see a horizontal line that stretches and splits the image into two parts. This is called the horizon line.

In Landscape Photography, if one of the more interesting. Give servings 2/3 of the frame. And a less attractive given the remaining 1/3. It is not absolute, but if the POI is located on the 2/3 then the impression would be more robust.

2. Consider the sky

The sky is an important element in the landscape.
If the shooting is not good heavens, Usahkan do not put on a 2/3 frames. This will give the impression that flat and boring.

But if the objec sky and clouds in the formation of a 'wow', do not hesitate to fill the frame with the sky. Use the filter to increase contrast and saturation of the sky like the Gradual neutral density and polarizer.

3. Find a Focal Point

Focal point is the point where our eyes go when looking at a photograph. Without a focal point, our eyes would not focus in looking at photographs. As with other types of photography, landscape photography also requires a focal point.

Focal points can be stone, grass, twigs, flowers. Anything that seems to blend with nature can be used as a focal point.

Do not forget the application of the rule of placing third in the focal point.

4. Do not forget the foreground.

Foreground can make us more dimensional image. There is a sense of depth from the photo if we put the right foreground. Often the foreground a POI of our landscape.

5. Use a Tripod

Perhaps since the digital age people often forget the tripod. Why would a tripod, if you have good high ISO results. Lens was already there with the stabilizer. Oops, do not get me wrong yet, a tripod is obligatory for the landscaper. Exposure to over one second ('ll often know), a tripod is recommended. Although the tripod a bit troublesome to carry, but it will make you smile later.

6. Maximize Depth of Field (DOF)

Whose name is landscape photography, the state generally makes all the elements in focus. Although not absolute, this is the basic concept of landscape photography. For that use the smallest possible aperture. And if necessary, apply the concept of distance hyporfocal. And if we shrink the aperture, auto shutter speed will be reduced and the tripod is needed.

7. Capture the natural movement

Maybe some people think is a photo landscape photo a quiet, peaceful, calm etc.. But we can add a little drama in our landscapes. May be a wave in the ocean, trees blowing in the wind, the clouds are running, etc..

In this kind of motion capture, it takes some ancillary equipment such as ND filter (neutral density) and tripod.

If we catch him, our landscape will be felt "otherworld" with a very strong mood.

8. Working closely with the weather

We can not forecast the weather. We can only wait for the right time to take pictures.

Most beginners think that a good landscape photo is at a sunny day. It's not entirely wrong, here is explained the type - the type of landscape photography. Photo taken during the sunny days are common and commonly used as photo calendar. If we want a slightly different landscape photographs, Photograph was during unusual weather. For example, during a storm, clouds, after the rain, dark skies with little sunlight, and the conditions of "extreme" other. Your picture will be more in character, because the events that you photograph just will not happen again.: D

9. Golden hour

Light from the side will show a strong dimension and texture to an object. In landscape photography, the light from the side up in the morning and afternoon.

At this time, the color - the colors look very nice and the landscape looks very much alive. Called the golden hour as colorful at this time is a red-yellow-gold-like. So, yes photograph at this time.

10. Lines and shapes

Play with the composition. The line can be a very strong focal point because it helps our eyes trace our landscape.

The line could provide tremendous depth of field, a different perspective. Find the lines in your picture and make it a great power
