Photographing the Landscape
- Compostion and viwepoint are very importanat to lanscapes
- Explore all variations of the shot- move around
- Wide ranges of tones can make the photo look more dramatic
- Try to enhance mood through the landscape
- Balance between unity and balance
- Maximun dept of field
- Low Fstop to get a longer shutter speed
- Use tripod to get clear crisp photos
- Photograph just after sunrise and just before sunset
- These times give a warm effect and have very good light
- Use 100 ISO film to capture all details
- Use wide-angle lenses to get more in your shot
- The big view of pictiures, mostly outdoors
- Dont always need beutiful nature settings
- Use rule of thirds
- Emphasize the clouds in the sky, but other times the sky can be overpowering
- Use polarizing yellow filters to make clouds stand out
