Landscape Photography Technique

1. Show a Sense of Scale

Try to use people, animals or other recognizable objects that are part of the scene to show a sense of scale and convey the grandeur of the landscape you are shooting.

2. Use a Tripod and Remote / Cable Release

To make sure the photographs you capture are pin sharp, put your camera on a tripod and use a cable release to trigger the shutter.

3. Create Depth in Your Landscape Photos

Placing different elements in the scene at different planes helps draw the viewer’s eye into the photograph. Create an illusion of depth by having a strong foreground, middleground and background in your photographs. This gives a landscape a three dimensional feel.

4. Use Color Innovatively

Color is more or less like music. It can evoke a number of varied emotions in the mind of the viewer. For instance, vibrant colors like yellow and red can instill a sense of warmth and joy. While blue tones can suggest tranquility. Nature is filled with a vast palette of gorgeous colors. Use this to your advantage. You can try various different techniques with colors. Either Isolate part of the scene that is dominated by only one color. Or shoot a variety of shades in the same image. Always remember that you must ensure that the colors you include complement each other. Be careful while postprocessing your images. The colors must be saturated, but must not look unnatural.

5. Use White Balance Creatively to Enhance Colors

Play with your white balance settings to enhance / subdue certain colors. Either adjust the white balance setting on the scene to suit your taste or shoot in raw and experiment later at the convenience of your home.
