Digital Landscape Photography
Ever been disappointed in your digital landscape photography photos? Wonder why they don’t look as good as others that you have seen in books or magazines? Your not alone, most photographers are never happy with their own images. Not to mention the fact that you can’t rearrange a nature scene to your liking. Taking great landscaping shots doesn't have to be complicated if you plan a little.
Of course a nice breath taking view would be nice for starters, landscape photography is actually an art. Always be on the lookout for a great scene, what may just be “farm land” to someone, could actually be a winning photograph to others. Just as an example, I went to visit my Dad recently and he had this beautiful landscape scene photo that he had shot up on the Blueridge Parkway. I told him how really beautiful it was, it truly was a breath taking photo even though it was just of some farm land with bails of hay strewn about, a torn up roof on a barn, etc. Do you want to know what made the scene so beautiful? Season was the main key, my Dad took the photo during fall colors, the trees were beautiful. The seasonal colors of the trees and the time of day lighting was perfect. It was just an awesome photograph. I guess my point is that you must consider all variations, my Dad took me to the spot where he shot the photo in the middle of the summer and I didn’t even take a picture, it just wasn’t “breath taking” on a plain ole summer day.
Always consider weather, which may add to the beauty of a landscape scene. Consider storm clouds or white puffy clouds or even just a really beautiful deep blue sky. These things I've suggested are simply to give you ideas and get your creative juices flowing and they will definitely improve your photographs. Consider lighting for great photographs whether it be sunset, dawn, night or any other time of the day, lighting plays a key role in making photos either boring or great.
When I was up on the Blueridge Parkway with my Dad, I began to notice textures, like old wood or even bails of hay, I took some very interesting pictures of hay and split rail fences and buildings with old grainy, gray wood. I think they are pretty awesome anyway. If properly composed, even an old wooden window can make a great photograph.
Nature photos are a favorite of many photographers and the most fun to shoot in my opinion. Especially, those breath taking landscape photographs. At least you don’t have to make people smile, etc. Nature is just plain beautiful and it doesn't have to "say cheese" to look pretty. Keep in mind the few tips I’ve given you here and your images will surely improve. Remember planning is a big part, visit your scene at different times of the day and keep in mind clouds, weather, lighting, tree colors, etc. Now you should have a few good ideas and things to consider. Ok, go take some great photos.
