Landscape Photography Tips

With the weather turning so nice, everyone is grabbing their cameras and heading outside to photograph.  Here are a few tips to remember or consider with Landscape Photography:

  • Always include a Foreground and Background in your composition.  Give your viewers something that takes them all the way through the photograph.
  • Use a Tripod.  As your shutter speeds get long, you will need a stable tripod to capture those great images. Using a tripod will also give you a sharper image.
  • Consider using a Polarizer.  This will help in avoiding the unwanted reflections, not to mention it will deepen the blue in the sky.
  • And last, share your photos.  Don’t let your photos die on your computer or memory card.  Post them on your blog, print and share them, email to friends and family or even post on Facebook.

So get out there and photograph.  The weather is great and there are tons of images just waiting to be captured.  If you are unsure as to how to start, well then consider a workshop here at the SCV Center for Photography as our instuctors are committed to helping you capture the moments.
