CREATING LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY COMPOSITIONS WITH IMPACT
Composition of any type of photography can be very subjective and is often up to the eye of the photographer. Landscape photography is no exception.
However, there are some rules to follow in order to ensure that a photograph has a good balance and a proper visual impact for the viewer. Understanding gear and techniques are equally important to achieve great results. This article will provide useful gear to use, techniques to master, and reveals 8 tips to help you create more impactful landscape photographs.
GEAR
Ideally, the toolkit of the landscape photographer would have a flexible focal length, be limited in size and weight and cover the needs for several types of landscape photography.
Beyond the camera, it should ideally include at least three zoom lenses including a very wide angle lens such as a 14-24 mm on full frame, a middle range lens with a focal range 24-70 mm and a telephoto lens with a focal range of 70-200 mm.
Shooting with primes is possible, but limits the flexibility offered by zooms significantly.
