Landscape Preview

Set 1 

TIP

  Many beginner photographers see a sunny day and think that it’s the best time to go out with their camera – however an overcast day that is threatening to rain might present you with a much better opportunity to create an image with real mood and ominous overtones. Look for storms, wind, mist, dramatic clouds, sun shining through dark skies, rainbows, sunsets and sunrises etc and work with these variations in the weather rather than just waiting for the next sunny blue sky day.

SET 2

Tip 1 - I think having vibe colts is important in doing landscape photography because its more alive it  captures more attention and makes the picture even more interesting .

Tip 2 - Having the whole frame in focus makes everything important , even the smallest detail should be able to be seen .

Tip 3 - I believe that the sky is a big part of landscape and it should be in the frame , when the sky is there is just makes the frame vivid .
